Built in 1963, the El Dorado Union High School District Ponderosa High School is located on a 38 acre oak tree-lined campus. This campus was recognized by the community and the building industry alike for its distinctive design which took full advantage of its rural setting.
The design is aesthetically pleasing with striking views which is why it is known as one of the most beautiful high school campuses in Northern California.
The campus was featured in the September 1964 edition of Architectural Record Magazine.
