About Serrano Elementary
Serrano Elementary is part of the Orange Unified School District and serves Villa Park families and the surrounding area. The school’s mascot is the Eagle, and its school colors are burgundy and gold. Serrano was established during the mid-1960s, when former citrus and ranch land in and around Villa Park was rapidly giving way to residential neighborhoods and the local school system was expanding to serve the growing population.
Early Serrano Elementary History
Newspaper coverage from 1965 documents Serrano as one of the new schools serving this rapidly developing part of the Orange Unified area. The school’s opening belongs to the same period that produced Villa Park High School and Cerro Villa Junior High, making the three campuses useful markers of Villa Park’s transition from an agricultural district to a largely residential community.
Period reporting identifies the early Serrano principal with the Courson surname, but surviving sources do not all render his given name consistently. Because of that discrepancy, this page does not assign a specific first name until it can be established from a stronger primary or school record.
Families can find current academic information, programs, announcements and school-specific information directly through the official Serrano Elementary School website.
