HISTORY
As the San Fernando Valley experienced a continuing population explosion in the aftermath of World
War II, Saint Genevieve parish was founded in 1950 to respond to the spiritual needs of Catholic residents
in Panorama City and Arleta. With the success of St. Genevieve Elementary School, parents in the
parish—as well as those in neighboring parishes—increasingly felt the need for a local school that could
also provide a Catholic secondary education. December 7, 1958 marked the ground breaking and
beginning of construction of St. Genevieve High School, the soon-to-be home of the Valiants.
