South Bay Union High School District

January 09, 2023

South Bay Union High School District, also known as the Redondo Union High School District,[1] was a school district in Los Angeles County, California. It served residents of Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Redondo Beach.[2] It also served Torrance in the 1947-1948 school year.[3]

History

It was established circa 1905.[4] Redondo Union High School was the district's first high school.[5] Torrance High School was part of this district only for the 1947-1948 school year, as California law prevented the newly-formed Torrance school district from immediately controlling high schools. The following year it became the Torrance Unified School District and took control of Torrance High.[3] The second comprehensive high school that remained a part of the district, Mira Costa High School, opened in 1950.[5]

It had 7,000 students in 1970. The number of students decreased, prompting the district to close Aviation High School in 1982.[6]

In 1991 the elementary school districts within South Bay Union HSD had plans to unify into a single K-12 school district.[7]

In spring 1991 the enrollment was down to 2,900. For the 1991-1992 school year the district was facing a budget shortfall of $1.4 million dollars and was considering closing either Mira Costa High School or Redondo Union High School.[6]

In November 1992 residents of the district approved Proposition V by 59.1%, which dissolved South Bay Union and created separate K-12 unified school districts for the constituent cities. The school district was scheduled to dissolve in July 1993.[2] Manhattan Beach Unified School District and Redondo Beach Unified School District were formed as a result.[5] Hermosa Beach City School District continued to serve Hermosa Beach for grades K-8, with residents able to choose between Redondo Union and Mira Costa high schools.[8]
