The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District has renamed its neighborhood school in Ocean Park. The Ocean Park School House was chosen as the new name, approved by the Board of Education at their Oct. 7 meeting. This change replaces the former John Muir Elementary/Santa Monica Alternative School House (SMASH) facility.
The district is relocating several schools over the winter and summer breaks. Olympic High School and the Off Campus Learning Center will move to Ocean Park School House during the winter break, while SMASH will remain at the Michelle and Barack Obama Center for Inquiry and Exploration until spring. In the summer, these two schools will move to the Obama Center’s main building.
Ocean Park School House features modernized classrooms, a new parking lot, an administration building with improved security, and a new innovation lab for project-based learning. The school is expected to welcome students in the 2026-2027 school year.
