History
Panorama opened in fall 2006 with grades 9, 10, and 11,[1] and then added 12th grade in 2007. In June 2008, the first students graduated from the school. Panorama relieved Van Nuys High School, Birmingham High School, and Monroe High School. The opening allowed for Van Nuys High School to return to a traditional calendar.[2] Prior to having the name Panorama High School, the school was known as East Valley Area New High School #3.
The first principal of Panorama High School, Sue Lepisto, retired in June 2010. She was replaced by Elias de la Torre in September 2010.
