Anaheim Union High School District

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 magnet 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. They have long since been reinstated.
