Park Hill History - The Bison:  In 1991 a new San Jacinto elementary school was being built, next to Park Hill. Bison could be seen grazing upon the hill, which were owned by San Jacinto’s Minor Family. Named only "New School A" at the time, one of the teachers suggested to not be the mascot of the tiger, like all other San Jacinto schools, but make the beautiful and powerful bison the mascot. San Jacinto Unified loved the idea and the new school became Park Hill Elementary Bison! On May 9, 2016, President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law, officially making the American bison the national mammal of the United States. This majestic animal, as an official symbol of our country, is strong, proud and one of the greatest conservation success stories of all time.
