The Anaheim Union High School District is a public school district serving portions of the Orange County cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, La Palma, and Stanton. It oversees eight junior high schools (7-8), eight high schools (9-12), and one non-magnet, secondary selective school, Oxford Academy (7-12). Its current superintendent is Joe Farley. He took over on July 1, 2005.
The District gained brief national notoriety in 1978 when it banned the novels Silas Marner and Gone with the Wind from the school curriculum. [1] They have long since been reinstated.
