Area schools have been honored five times with National Blue Ribbon awards and 26 times with California Distinguished Schools Honors.

Newhall’s location in the Santa Clarita Valley provides the city with everything from world class shopping, excellent schools and quality health care facilities, to entertainment and recreation. Newhall is part of a region that offers excellent neighborhoods, a multitude of job opportunities and attractions that are unique to the area including Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. The Santa Clarita valley’s robust economy has been bolstered by its diverse and growing commercial and industrial center as well as its close proximity to the Los Angeles work centers. In addition, the FBI has recognized the Santa Clarita Valley as one of the safest areas in the nation.

The Santa Clarita Valley offers a myriad of recreational opportunities. A number of landscaped pedestrian walkways known as “paseos” intersect through residential neighborhoods and connect to the community trail system that joins homes, schools, parks, recreation centers and the Valencia Town Center mall. Residents have more than 25 miles of paths to explore. In addition to the trail system, many lakes are located nearby offering opportunities for various water sports.

Newhall was at one time a separate community within the Santa Clarita Valley. Today, however, the residents of Canyon Country, Newhall, Valencia, Canyon Country and Saugus have been united and are now officially part of the city of Santa Clarita.
