School Mission Statement
Glendale Unified School District built this school to enroll students from Monte Vista and Montrose to decrease their large enrollments.
Teachers applied from all over the district to help open the first year - 1967.
The parents were outstanding as we started many new programs and activities. We had a view of Catalina on clear days.
Student achievement was very high as they were highly motivated by the strong teachers and parent groups.
The students moved on to Rosemont Middle School and were able to assume leadership roles there.
It was an exciting school and a pleasure to be the first principal.
