One Hart: Every Student - Opportunity Ready
Welcome to the William S. Hart Union High School District!
As a sixteen-year Santa Clarita resident and twelve-year member of the Hart District Team, it is an honor to serve as Interim Superintendent after serving as both Assistant Superintendent Human Resources and Deputy Superintendent, Educational Services in the District. I look forward to continuing the work of supporting every student through the implementation of our Strategic Plan.
The Hart District’s Strategic Plan was developed in 2022 to ensure that every student receives a high quality educational experience and can pursue any career path upon graduation - One Hart: Every Student Opportunity Ready. The Plan is built upon the Core Values of Community, Caring, Creativity and Courage with Five Focus Areas:
- Student Learning and Instruction
- Safety and Wellness
- Access and Equity
- Financial and Human Resources
- Communication and Collaboration
For decades, Hart District Schools have been recognized as exemplary because of our staff, programs, facilities, and community that reflect the tenets of our Strategic Plan. We strive to continue with and improve these educational experiences. Some of our honors and awards include:
- Recognized as a California Exemplary District
- Seven Schools Designated as California Distinguished Schools
- Bowman High School Named a Model Continuation High School (every year since 1999)
- Six High Schools Nationally Ranked Among Best Public High Schools in the Nation (U.S. News and World Report)
- Six High Schools Among the Top 10% for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEAM - Newsweek)
- Six Los Angeles County Teachers of the Year in the last decade
- Two California State Teachers of the Year and a State Teacher of the Year finalist in the last decade
- 94.8% Graduation Rate
- 90% Students Continue to Post-Secondary Education & Training
Finally, we value our community and we invite feedback and collaboration. Please contact us with any questions, concerns or ideas and please visit our WiSH Education Foundation website that directly supports our schools and students. See how you can help here.
