History

Panorama opened in fall 2006 with grades 9, 10, and 11, [3] and then added 12th grade in 2007. In June 2008, the first students graduated from the school. Panorama relieved overcrowding at Van Nuys High School, Birmingham High School, James Monroe High School, and Polytechnic High School. The opening allowed for Van Nuys High School to return to a traditional calendar. [4] Prior to having the name Panorama High School, the school was known as East Valley Area New High School #3.

The school had previously had a variety of after school classes within an after school program from October 2007 to June 2010. The after school classes were film production, dj music, urban art, sound art, etc. By September 2010, Panorama cancelled the after school classes, leaving only after school tutoring instead.

The first principal of Panorama High School, Sue Lepisto, retired in June 2010. She was replaced by Elias de la Torre in September 2010.
