Campus
Serrano High School is primarily made up of portable classrooms, many of which were installed in the early to mid 2000s.
Serrano High School was designed originally in the 1970s by CTE Architects of Ontario California. The design was strictly utilitarian. The top of Serrano High School's Performing Arts Center building rises 45 ft, it is the tallest structure in the Phelan area.
In 1998 Serrano High School constructed a new gymnasium, attached to the old one, also designed by the same firm which built the school.

Deterioration
