Nestled in North Los Angeles County Santa Clarita Continues to Put Education and Saftey First!

Southern California homebuyers have you considered the Santa Clarita Valley? One of many reason why residents have drawn to the Santa Clarita Valley is its outstanding public education. Many of the local schools rank among the top 10 percent in California based on the California Assessment Program and have received Distinguished School awards from the California Dept. of Education or National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence awards.

Students in grades K through 6 attend schools in the Newhall, Saugus, Sulphur Springs and Castaic school districts. Students across the valley in grades 7 through 12 are served by the William S. Hart Union High School District, except those in Castaic, which operates its own middle school through eighth grade.

What's Good in Education? A FREE career exploration fair!

There still will be a FREE career exploration fair for students age 5 to 20 at College of the Canyons in Valencia on Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students and their parents will discover over 40 career fields and meet SCV leaders. Students will be encouraged to discover and experience careers through hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations.

Discovering Careers 2010 offers fun for the entire family.

This event is brought to you by the Santa Clarita Valley School & Business Alliance. Sponsors include Boston Scientific; KHTS radio, the Wm. S. Hart Union High School District and College of the Canyons.
