San Fernando High School, originally called San Fernando Union High School, was established in 1896 and is one of the oldest high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school was originally located on Fifth and Hager Streets in the City of San Fernando. In 1906, the school moved to a new campus at 130 North Brand Boulevard, the present day location of San Fernando Middle School. San Fernando High School moved again in 1952, to its present location in Pacoima.
