Van Nuys High School 6535 Cedros Avenue Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California 91411 Type Public comprehensive high school Established 1914; 110 years ago Status Open School district Los Angeles Unified School District Principal Lourdes De-Santiago Teaching staff 112.80 (FTE) (2022–23) Enrollment 2,323 (2022–23) Student to teacher ratio 20.59 (2022–23) Color(s) Crimson, gray Team name Wolves Several neighborhoods, including much of Van Nuys, portions of Sherman Oaks, Magnolia Woods, and Victory Park, are zoned to this school. Van Nuys High School opened in 1914, four years after Van Nuys was established. For years the only high schools in the San Fernando Valley were Van Nuys, Owensmouth (now Canoga Park), San Fernando, and North Hollywood. The main buildings and auditorium were built in 1933, incorporating remnants of the 1915 building which had been destroyed in the Long Beach earthquake. The football and track stadium, originally built at the same time as the current high school, is named for Bob Waterfield, and the baseball field for Don Drysdale, the two most famous athletes to have played for VNHS. It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD. For the 1998–1999 Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), Van Nuys high had a 537 average on the verbal portion and a 568 on the mathematics portion, giving it the highest SAT scores in the LAUSD that year. The Los Angeles Unified School District ordered Van Nuys High School to convert to year-round scheduling in 2001, due to such reasons as overcrowding. Even though this relieved the overcrowding at the school, the magnet programs separated tracks, along with the residential students. The Performing Arts Magnet and the Medical Magnet were available only on the A-Track Schedule, while the Math and Science Magnet was available only on the C-Track Schedule. B-Trackers could not take the same classes as C-Trackers, while C-Trackers could take only certain A-Track classes. Teachers that had both A-Track and C-Track students were frustrated because the curriculum had to be synchronized with both tracks. Van Nuys High School returned to the traditional school calendar in 2005. The switch was caused by a decline in the school population and by a new district policy to eliminate year-round schools whenever possible. The opening of Panorama High School in October 2006, relieved overcrowding at Van Nuys High School. Van Nuys High School had the highest AP passing rate in the LAUSD for a second consecutive year in 2014. Van Nuys High School was indeed established in 1915, although the first graduating ceremony was held in 1914 for a small group of students who had previously attended different schools, legitimately making the class of 2014 The Centennials. The issue was discussed between high authority figures of the school, and they decided that even though the first graduating ceremony that took place for students who did attend Van Nuys High School was in the year 1915, the first graduating ceremony to take place in the school took place back in 1914
