On October 13th, the City of Azusa, in partnership with the School District and the offices of Senator Susan Rubio and Assemblymember Blanca Rubio, held a Press Conference and official check presentation for "The Old Schoolhouse" restoration project.

The Schoolhouse is considered an architecturally significant building as one of the only surviving single room wood framed schoolhouses in the San Gabriel Valley. The Schoolhouse also represents a deeper significance to our community as a remnant of race-based segregation policies - the Schoolhouse was used to separate Mexican students in the early 1900's prior to integration and as a designated polling place for residents of Mexican-American descent.

The Schoolhouse was moved to its final destination at Veterans Freedom Park behind Azusa City Hall, where the structure will be restored and curated as a local historic landmark over the coming months. More Info and for watching the video, Please click here
