Canoga Park High School
Canoga Park High School is a high school located in Canoga Park in the western San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California, United States. It is in the Los Angeles Unified School District. It is located at the start of the Los Angeles River, and adjacent to Topanga Canyon Boulevard to the west and Owensmouth Avenue to the east.
Canoga Park High serves the majority of the Canoga Park area of Los Angeles, and parts of the Winnetka area.
To the north and south Bell Creek and Arroyo Calabasas (Calabasas Creek) flow around the campus to join on the east side behind the stadium and become the headwaters of the Los Angeles River. The creeks and river were channelized in the 1940s, but still support wildlife.
Canoga Park is the oldest high school in the west San Fernando Valley.[citation needed] It opened on October 4, 1914, as Owensmouth High School, with 14 students and 3 teachers. [citation needed] The high school's buildings were in the Beaux-Arts Neoclassical architectural style, unusual for a small town two years old. The school's name was changed in 1931, after the community of Owensmouth changed its name to Canoga Park.
Previously students of the Las Virgenes Union School District attended Canoga Park High School, which was then a part of the Los Angeles City High School District. Effective July 1, 1961, Los Angeles Unified formed, and Canoga Park High School became a part of that district, while the Las Virgenes territories remained in the Los Angeles City High School District, which became the West County Union High School District. Los Angeles Unified was still scheduled to take in Las Virgenes students. However, when the Topanga School District merged into LA Unified, the Las Virgenes Union School District automatically merged, as per California law, on July 1, 1962, with the West County Union High School District, forming the Las Virgenes Unified School District. This meant that by then Las Virgenes residents were no longer zoned to Canoga Park High.
Among the school's features are a coast redwood grove planted in 1936 just north of the football field. A classic Greek outdoor theater was part of the school in early years. For 40 years, the Greek styled 100 Building was the pride of Canoga Park. It housed the school library and administrative offices, and was a well-known community landmark. In 1971, the building suffered severe damage in the Sylmar earthquake and it was condemned and demolished in the summer of 1975. The demolished 100 and 200 buildings were replaced with new facilities that opened in March 1978.[citation needed]
The Assembly Hall was built during the Great Depression by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works and completed in 1939.[citation needed] It survived the 1971 earthquake and is in use today. It is identified in the California Register of Historic Resources as historically significant.[citation needed]
The movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High was partially filmed at Canoga Park High School.
