El Toro High School is a public high school in Lake Forest, California, United States. It is one of five high schools in the Saddleback Valley Unified School District (SVUSD) and serves Lake Forest as well as its district of Portola Hills and a small portion of east Irvine and northern Mission Viejo. Students living in Foothill Ranch, which is zoned to Trabuco Hills High School may choose to attend El Toro out of convenience. "El Toro" was the name of the community from the 1870s until a referendum in 1991.[1] The school has served the area since 1973.
History
El Toro began participating in the International Baccalaureate Program in 2004. The program was scheduled to end in 2011 because of district and state budget cuts,[2] but it was slated to continue into 2012 school year.[2]
During the 2007 California wildfires, more specifically the Santiago Fire, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made a speech at El Toro High School[3] It was also used as an evacuation center.
During the 2020 California wildfires, more specifically during the Silverado Fire, El Toro High School was again used as an evacuation center for those that were impacted in Foothill Ranch, Lake Forest, and Portola Hills.
The high school was also the former home of the "El Toro 20 Stair," which became a notable spot for skateboarding, and many high-profile tricks were filmed at the stairs.
