Oxnard Union High School District is a union high school district for communities on the Oxnard Plain including the cities of Oxnard, California, Port Hueneme, and Camarillo that also serves surrounding unincorporated areas of El Rio, Somis and the adjacent beach neighborhoods.
Founded in 1901, the district currently operates 10 schools (6 full high schools and 4 continuation high schools) with one more under construction and 2 smaller high schools in the planning phases. There are more than 300,000 residents living within district boundaries, and the district employs over 700 teachers and oversees the education of nearly 20,000 students with an annual operating budget of over 100 million dollars. When the Conejo Valley Unified School District formed in 1974, Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park high schools were transferred to the new district.
The current superintendent is Penelope DeLeon, EdD. She was previously the Chief of Secondary Schools for the Fontana Unified School District. Previous superintendents include Gabriel Soumakian, EdD (2011-2015), Bob Carter (2009-2011), Jody Dunlap (2005-2009), Gary Davis (2001-2005), Bill Studt (1993-2001), Ian Kirkpatrick (1990-1993), Bob Carter (1980-1990) and Joseph W. Crosby (1957 to 1974). Rio Mesa, Hueneme and Channel Islands high schools were part of an ambitious building program funded by a bond measure passed during Crosby"s tenure as the district tried to keep up with the area's growing population.
Measure H, a $135 million bond passed by voters in 2004, to build two new schools and make improvements to existing campuses. The bond paid for two new swimming pools for Camarillo and Hueneme high schools that were finished in 2014. A new high school in Camarillo, Rancho Campana, is being funded through the bond and scheduled to be completed by the fall semester of 2015.
