The Castaic High School planning started in 2010 with the District establishing a goal of creating a new high school for the Santa Clarita Valley north of I-5. The new campus, set in the foothills of Castaic provides a comprehensive high school setting for visual and performing arts, CTE programs, athletic facilities. The campus radiates around a central spine and student gathering area that provides for student gathers and activity spaces. The natural materials and colors echo the surrounding landscape to blend into the environmentally sensitive setting.
