Columbus Tustin established a grammar school in the 1870s, but 50 years passed before the city had their first Tustin High School.
Red Hill has a long and colorful history, beginning with the Indians who called it Katuktu, signifying hill of prominence or place of refuge.
Tustin schools have a long history – having first started in 1872 with a one-room schoolhouse donated by Columbus Tustin.
In 1872, about 28 students would attend Sycamore School off and on with five of the children coming from the Columbus Tustin family.
