“Golden Valley is a unique concept that required a specific expertise

– the ability to develop land. Such a project needs to be in a market
where real estate is in tight supply and high demand. You need to be

able to create value.”

~~ Richard A. Patterson

Epilogue

olden Valley High School began as a vision on a mountain top. As the story goes, the William S. Hart Union High School
District, the City of Santa Clarita and the Santa Clarita Valley Facilities Foundation embarked on a journey in 1998 to
Gbuild a critical roadway and a desperately-needed high school. Determination, partnership and collaboration guided
the depth of commitment and the hard work necessary to complete the largest public works project in the City’s history.
We honor the spirit of cooperation, the unity of purpose and the power of our partnership that created a unique learning
facility. Built on a 51-acre hilltop site with a panoramic view of the valley below, Golden Valley High School offers state-of-the-
art design with science and technology classrooms, a performing arts center with nearly a 500-seat capacity, and varsity-level
athletic facilities. The school is one of the largest high schools in the District, designed for 2,600 students. Moving forward, it
will be students and parents, teachers and staff, administrators and community leaders who ensure Golden Valley’s status as a
monument to this community.
On the occasion of Golden Valley High School’s 10th Anniversary, we couldn’t be more proud of its place in Hart District history.
