• History & Memorable Moments

North Orange County was home to secondary students as early as the late 1800s, but their only choice for 9-12 schooling was south at Fullerton High. In 1898 and 1903, residents of the booming oil town of Olinda and the scattered oil camps that would become Brea respectively, created their own K-8 school districts, but it still took more than two decades before a high school came to town. Meanwhile, Brea and Olinda students kept heading south to Fullerton, first traveling in horse-drawn wagons, and later riding the trolley line's red cars. ^[1]

Changes made at the Fullerton campus in the 1920s, including cutbacks in such locally popular courses as oil production and horticulture, dismayed Brea's civic leaders, causing them to look closely at their town's growing student population and take steps to create a new north county high school district. Early efforts to unite Brea with La Habra and Olinda to work toward a high school failed. La Habra soon was dropped from the plan, and Olinda lodged protests as well, but the topic was settled at the ballot box in March, 1925, when the Brea-Olinda Union High School District was formed. ^[1]
