Principal's Message

As we embark on the journey into the upcoming academic year at the Placer School for Adults (PSA), I want to take a moment to reflect on the rich tapestry of programs and educational services we have woven together over the years while also casting our gaze toward the abundant opportunities that lie ahead. Our mission is to provide adult learners in our region with programs that are relevant, timely, and of exceptional quality.

PSA is thrilled to celebrate 68 years of empowering adults in the vibrant Placer County area through education. This long-standing history is a testament to our commitment and dedication to meeting the diverse needs of our students. From the charming town of Loomis to the picturesque landscapes of Truckee, California, and extending our reach to include those in the beautiful Nevada County region, we remain steadfast in our mission. We extend our educational offerings to the Placer County and Nevada County Jails, further enriching our community. Currently, PSA operates across six campuses that serve as a beacon of learning and growth. 

As a key member of the Sierra Joint Consortium, we embrace collaboration by forming strong partnerships with the Roseville Adult School, the Sierra Joint Community College District, and other key stakeholders in our region. Together, we aim to create educational pathways that significantly enrich the lives of adults in our community. Our diverse and dynamic offerings include a state-of-the-art Class A truck driving school, an immersive Clinical Medical Program, watercolor painting classes and other community enrichment courses that encourage creativity, high school diploma completion classes, courses for our English language learners, preparation classes for the high school equivalency exam, commonly known as the GED, and many other engaging programs. These initiatives are the result of our collaborative efforts.

I invite you to explore our brochure, which outlines our mission and services beautifully. This brochure is a gateway to our comprehensive website, available at https://www.placeronline.org, where you can find all the information you need to make informed decisions about your educational journey. 

For a deeper understanding of our offerings, we encourage you to visit our website, stop by one of our campus offices, where our supportive staff will be happy to assist you or schedule an appointment with one of our two transition counselors for a more personalized experience. As we approach the 2025-2026 academic year, I urge you to invest in your personal and professional growth. 

At PSA, we are dedicated to being your trusted guide and partner throughout this empowering journey of self-discovery and career advancement. Let us embark on this inspiring adventure together!
