For students in grade 8 that live in Castaic, your high school placement will be Castaic High School unless you meet one of our pre-established criteria for transfer.

What if my child is in Special Education?

The William S. Hart Union High School District offers the following regionalized programs:

Special Day Class - Functional Academics
Special Day Class - Students with Emotional and Behavioral Needs
Special Day Class - Living Skills
Special Day Class - Autism High Functioning

Your child's elementary school will work with the William S. Hart Union High School District to schedule a matriculation IEP meeting in the spring. For students who require the support of a regionalized program, your student's school placement will be determined at the time of the matriculation IEP and the appropriate paperwork will be completed at that time.

For students who qualify for Special Day Class Core Curriculum or our Resource Program, all comprehensive Hart District campuses offer these programs and requests for transfers are limited to our pre-established criteria.
