Celebrating a Milestone
Students stroll the campus, which sits on 70 terraced acres off Sierra Highway, roughly halfway between Soledad
Canyon Road and Sand Canyon Road. Total student enrollment has grown approximately 58 percent in just five years.
INTRODUCTION
F ive years have passed since the Canyon Country Campus opened –and thousands
of people’s lives have been enriched by the educational and training programs now
offered in the eastern Santa Clarita Valley. e Canyon Country Campus, nestled
among 70 acres in the hills off Sierra Highway, surpassed a projected enrollment of 3,000
when it opened on Aug. 27, 2007 and has grown faster than anyone imagined. e 3,410
students who enrolled for that first semester validated the new campus, just as the 5,492
students who enrolled for fall 2011 reinforced the notion that the eastern Santa Clarita
Valley absolutely depends on it.
