William S. Hart High School, also known as "Hart High School", is the oldest high school in the Santa Clarita Valley in California. The school has been educating students in the 9th through 12th grades since 1946. The school's main colors are red and black. Its mascot is the Indian. Its main rivals are the other schools of the William S. Hart High School District, which include Valencia High School, Canyon High School,Saugus High School, and West Ranch High School.

Though there is much emphasis in athletics, the school also places much emphasis in academics. Hart currently is leading in academics based on Advanced Placement (AP) test scores in the district.

  • 33% of those passing students were from Hart
  • 26% were from Valencia
  • 22% were from Saugus
  • 19% were from Canyon

In addition, according to Newsweek's Jay Matthews' Challenge Index, which uses AP exams to identify the top high schools in the United States, Hart ranked in the top 2.8% percentile, placing above other well-known high schools in California. In Newsweek's Top 1000 Best High Schools in America for 2003, Hart ranked #790 in the nation. Newsweek's Top 1000 list has Hart ranked #740 for tests taken in 2004. And at the end of the 2005-2006 school year Newsweek's 1000 list ranked Hart #700 reaching higher than any high school in the Santa Clarita Valley. For the end of 2007 its projected that it will be in the low 600's.
