Esperanza High School Celebrates 50 Years of Tradition and Excellence
In late August, Esperanza High School celebrated its 50th anniversary! The campus first opened its doors in 1973 to serve the needs of a growing local population. It was named after the Spanish word Esperanza, which means "hope" in English. It was the belief that the word hope characterized the motivation of settlers in the area, whether as early as the Yorba and the Ontiveros families, or those who came to make the citrus and oil industries possible.
