William S. Hart High School, known to many of the valley's residents as "Hart High School", is the oldest high school in the Santa Clarita Valley in California. The school has been educating students in the 9th through 12th grades since 1946. The school's main colors are Red and Black . Its mascot is the Indian . Its main rivals are the other schools of the William S. Hart High School District , which include Valencia High School (its biggest rival), Canyon High School, and Saugus High School.

Though there is much emphasis in athletics, the school also places much emphasis in academics. Hart currently is leading in academics based on Advanced Placement (AP) test scores in the district. According to statistics from the district released in 2005, of the 1,886 students that passed at least one AP test:

  • 33% of those passing students were from Hart

  • 26% were from Valencia

  • 22% were from Saugus

  • 19% were from Canyon


In addition, according to Newsweek 's Jay Matthews' Challenge Index, which uses AP exams to identify the top high schools in the United States , Hart ranked in the top 2.8% Percentile , placing above other well-known high schools in California . In Newsweek's Top 1000 Best High Schools in America for 2003, Hart ranked #790 in the nation. Newsweek's Top 1000 list has Hart ranked #740 for tests taken in 2004.

In 2005, the school celebrated its 60 th anniversary.
