Northlake Hills Elementary School

If you ask them if they went to Castaic Union School District schools, they unanimously nod their heads. If you ask them if their parents still live in Castaic, they all nod their heads. If you ask them if their favorite teachers are still at the school they now teach at, some say, “Yes, and now they’re my workplace mentor.”

Castaic Middle School is the only school in the Santa Clarita Valley that continues this long-standing community tradition as our students transition to high school. Of the 240 students who promoted, 71 students were members of the National Junior Honor Society, which requires a minimum 3.5 grade point average (GPA) and 8 hours of community service.

This year’s event, at The Canyon at the Westfield Valencia Town Center, honored 53 teachers representing the 53 schools across five local school districts – who have shown “outstanding service and contribution in the classroom.”
