History
In 1964, the SRV Unified School District was created by voters in the two grammar school districts, one union school district and one high school district. The new district had six elementary schools, one and one-half middle schools and one high school. Two new high schools were built soon after--Monte Vista High School in 1966 and California High School in 1973. With unification came a whole new era in San Ramon Valley schooling.
