Newhall School District

The Newhall School District is an elementary school district in the Santa Clarita Valley that serves the Valencia and Newhall communities within the city of Santa Clarita, California, as well as the Stevenson Ranch community in unincorporated Los Angeles County.

One year later, in 1879, a proper school house was built at the corner of 9th and Walnut streets, in the current town of Newhall.

The older students were able to catch a ride in a converted automobile to San Fernando High School.

The schoolhouse at Lyons and Newhall Ave. was not able to be expanded and so a new school was built in 1928 at the corner of 11th and Walnut streets.

As for the older students, they would continue to travel until 1945 when Hart High School opened.

On January 13, 1945, the California State Board of Education approved the petitions of five Santa Clarita Valley school districts — Newhall, Saugus, Castaic, Mint Canyon and Sulphur Springs — to form the Santa Clarita Union High School District, later renamed the William S. Hart Union High School District.

Tom Frew III and S.S. Donaldson represented the Newhall district.
