Las Virgenes Unified School District

Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD) is a K–12 school district headquartered in Calabasas, California, United States. The district, serving the western section of the San Fernando Valley and the eastern Conejo Valley in Los Angeles County, consists of 14 public schools serving the cities of Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Westlake Village, and several small portions of the West Hills section of Los Angeles.

Its largest school is Agoura High School, with approximately 2,400 students.

LVUSD includes the following schools:

By the 1940s, the territory that is now the Las Virgenes district was divided among four one-room schools, each with its own school district:

In 1947, these four districts merged to form the Las Virgenes Union School District. A new Las Virgenes union grade school was built to replace the old schools; this has since become A.E. Wright Middle School, named after Arthur E. Wright, a childless English immigrant with only an eight grade education, who nonetheless took an interest in local education, was elected to the Liberty school board, and was instrumental in forming the union school district.

All the one-room school districts' territories had been annexed into Los Angeles City High School District on August 18, 1921, and until the 1960s, the teenagers of these grade school districts attended Canoga Park High School. However, the creation of Los Angeles Unified School District in 1961 took away the vast majority of the high school district, leaving only the territory of the Las Virgenes and Topanga grade school districts. The high school district renamed itself West County Union High School District, but had no high school left in its territory. Topanga School District voted to join L.A. Unified the next school year, leaving West County with the same border as Las Virgenes Union School District as of July 1, 1962, and California law made coterminous grade school and high school districts automatically become a unified school district, thus creating Las Virgenes Unified School District.
