1970-1979

For 40 years, the Greek styled buildings were the pride of Canoga Park. They housed the school library, administrative offices, and classrooms. In 1971, the buildings suffered damage in the Sylmar earthquake and were condemned. They were demolished in the summer of 1975.
 
 

One of the original graduates from 1916, Solly Patrick, returned to Canoga for a visit in 1974. He helped celebrate the school's 60th anniversary.
