Hesperia High School was the first high school to open in Hesperia, California in the fall of 1984, making it the oldest high school in the Hesperia Unified School District.

This academy will allow students to earn college credit; however, instead of going to a separate campus students will be able to attend during school hours.

This is the first campus to offer this type of opportunity in the high desert.
