Description
Growing children with no available outlet for further education was incentive enough for sixteen elementary school districts to establish California’s first union high school in Elk Grove. The initial building was housed in what is now Old Town from 1893 until 1922, when a new lot at Elk Grove Boulevard and Florin was chosen for the site of the new Elk Grove Union High School. In 1959 the separate districts unified and by 1964 a new senior high school closer to the fast-emerging suburban populace. For more than 50 years the Elk Grove School District has shouldered the responsibility of educating students spread over 320 square miles, the largest school district in Northern California, with fourteen new schools built and opened between 2002 and 2005.
