Centinela Valley Union High School District, (CVUHSD) is a public union high school district located in southern California that serves about 6,800 students[2] in grades 9–12 from Lawndale, Hawthorne, Lennox, Del Aire, and El Camino Village. The district's four associated elementary feeder school districts are Hawthorne School District, Lawndale Elementary School District, Lennox School District, and Wiseburn School District.[4] The Centinela Valley district also offers adult education classes.[5]
Students attend Hawthorne High School, Lawndale High School, Leuzinger High School, or the continuation school, Lloyde Continuation High School.[5]
The district has as its basis the 1905 formation of the Inglewood Union High School District, which included at the outset the territories of Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lennox, Wiseburn and El Segundo. El Segundo withdrew from CVUHSD on November 22, 1925, when the El Segundo Unified School District was formed.[6]
The district was named Centinela Valley Union High School District on November 1, 1944. On July 1, 1954, Inglewood, with its Inglewood and Morningside high schools, withdrew to form the Inglewood Unified School District.[6]
