La Costa Canyon High School is one of the high schools in the San Dieguito Union High School District. Located on 88 acres (360,000 m²) in south Carlsbad in northwest San Diego County, La Costa Canyon opened in September, 1996. The students attending La Costa Canyon live in Encinitas and south Carlsbad. These communities include both beach and agricultural areas and lie in proximity to the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Salk Institute, and Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation. La Costa Canyon High School was honored as a 1999 California Distinguished School and was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2001[citation needed].
