From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sun Valley Middle School is located in Sun Valley, a section of Los Angeles, California, and is part of Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). In April 1948, school officials announced that "the most charming of all the new junior high schools" in the Los Angeles system would be built in the Roscoe area. The "dream school", Sun Valley Junior High, was expected to be completed by September 1949. It did not open until February 1950.
Sun Valley Junior High School was built on a 14 acre tract at Valerio Street and Bakman Avenue. The new school was designed for 1200 students in grades seven through nine. The student population grew quickly, resulting in the construction of the North bungalows in 1951 on Valerio and Fair Avenue. The auditorium, P.E. field, and the south bungalows were added as the student population continued to grow.
At the opening ceremony for Sun Valley Junior High on January 29, 1950. Dr. Alexander J. Stoddard, superintendent of the Los Angeles City School System told students and parents, "You are about to enter Americas most up-to-date school... This school has everything a school could offer for attainment of a good education."
Fifty-five years later, the renamed Sun Valley Middle School serves over 2700 students in grades six through eight. The school requires its students to wear school uniforms.
