Centinela Valley Union High School District

The Centinela Valley Union High School District was formed in 1905 and is composed of the communities of Lawndale, Hawthorne, and Lennox in the South Bay of Los Angeles County. The Centinela Valley Union High School District has made historic gains in student achievement, and a commitment to college and career readiness evidenced by its award-winning California Partnership Academy programs. CVUHSD was recently awarded a State grant in 2013 (one of only 20) to further develop career and college readiness academies in partnership with the Linked Learning Alliance, ConnectEd, The California Center for College and Career, the National Academy Foundation, and the College and Career Academy Support Network. The grant supports district efforts to ensure that students remain engaged in their learning as a result of its instructional relevance to student's post-secondary aspirations, thus helping students remain motivated to complete high school at higher rates and with less need for remediation of basic skills. The Centinela Valley Union High School District looks forward to an exciting and bright future for it students and our community.
