History edit

In 2004, voters in the Oxnard Union High School District (OUHSD) approved Measure H, a school bond proposal to finance construction of three new high school campuses — two in Oxnard — and improvements to existing campuses.[1][2] One of the sites in Oxnard identified for a new campus was a 53-acre (21 ha) agricultural parcel at the corner of Camino Del Sol and Rose Avenue in the East Village neighborhood.[3] On November 13, 2019, OUHSD's board of trustees voted to purchase the site for $26.9 million and to name the new school Del Sol High School.[4] The school opened to freshmen in 2023 and will add a grade level each year.[5]
