What It's Like to Drive Around Laguna Hills High School

Home of the Hawks and our founder's own alma mater, Laguna Hills High sits on Paseo de Valencia right in the civic heart of the city, steps from the Moulton Parkway corridor and the longtime Laguna Hills Mall site. Paseo de Valencia is a smooth, manageable road to begin on, and within moments you reach El Toro Road and Moulton Parkway — two of the busiest arterials in the area, complete with shopping traffic and big multi-lane intersections. This central location means a learner sees genuine city driving almost immediately, with the San Clemente DMV route practically next door.

Intersections Our Instructors Focus On Near Laguna Hills High School

  • Paseo de Valencia & El Toro Rd — the campus's connection to a major commercial arterial, where drivers practice merging into shopping-area traffic and choosing a turn lane early
  • El Toro Rd & Moulton Pkwy — a large, high-volume intersection by the old mall site, ideal for reading multiple lanes and handling a long signal cycle calmly
  • Moulton Pkwy & Paseo de Valencia — a wide parkway crossing that teaches lane discipline and steady pacing through back-to-back signals
  • Alicia Pkwy & Paseo de Valencia — a busy junction near civic buildings and retail, perfect for rehearsing protected left turns and crosswalk awareness
