The Hart School District is planning on adding a new High School to the Castaic area by 2010. On Wednesday night September 20th, Paul Strickland the President of the Hart School District Board will be giving an overview of the proposed plan at the Castaic School Board offices, 28131 Livingston Ave, Castaic.
The plan has finally gained the support of all parties including the developer in the area SunCal, the Castaic Town Council, the School Boards and The West Ranch Town Council. The proposed new High School will alleviate the potential future overcrowding of the West Ranch High School on Valencia Blvd. in Westridge.
Currently, high school students from the Castaic area are attending the West Ranch High School. With current growth trends, there is a potential of 800 more students flowing into the West Ranch High School in the coming years if plans for the additional High School in Castaic were nixed.
