History of the Alta Loma School District
The Alta Loma School District was established as an elementary school district in 1885 and provides education for children from kindergarten through eighth grade. The District operates eight elementary schools (kindergarten through sixth grade) and two middle schools (grades 7 and 8). The District encompasses approximately 25 square miles in the northern part of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and adjoining unincorporated areas. The District is located in the western portion of San Bernardino County, approximately 40 miles east of Los Angeles and 19 miles west of the City of San Bernardino.
District History The Alta Loma School District, formed in September 1884, was originally called the Hermosa School District, opening its school doors in September 1885. The schoolhouse contained two classrooms with a library in-between. Part of the school curriculum was planting a garden. In 1921, the “new” Alta Loma School was built at the northwest corner of 19th and Hellman. The new school became quite a gathering place for the whole community on many occasions: PTA dinners, Boy Scouts, May Day festivities and the Christmas program. What We Are About
