Santa Clara High School was established by Santa Clara Parish in 1901. Staffed by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the school was originally named St. Joseph's Institute and educated students in both grammar school and high school. The first school building was a wooden frame convent and school at the corner of 4th and D Streets in Oxnard, which was replaced by a brick building on E Street opposite Santa Clara Church in 1930.
The new school building was dedicated as St. Clare's Parochial School, but it soon came to be called Santa Clara. The bottom floor was used for the Grammar school and the top floor, including four classrooms, a lab and a library, housed the High School. By 1950, the high school enrollment had so expanded that it became necessary to relocate.
