History
Highland Hall Waldorf School was originally founded in 1955 in North Hollywood. In the early 1960s, Highland Hall outgrew their tiny sanctuary in North Hollywood and the administration decided to build a brand new campus on a hill in Northridge, California. This campus would have the capacity to house a nursery through 8th grade program, and eventually they expanded the school to accommodate the 9th through 12 grades. In 2005, Highland Hall celebrated its 50th anniversary. The College of Teachers, the original governing body of the school, disbanded in 2004 and the Leadership Team took over in its place. This team is composed of five members of the faculty and the members of the team are occasionally shuffled from year to year.
