Pederson Ranch House
Our campus was built on land that was donated in 1957 by Richard Pederson. This Ranch House was original to Pederson Ranch and is a Ventura County historical landmark. However, while this is the original building, this is not its original location. In fact, it's been moved 3 times. Currently, the Music department calls it home.
