History
Cascade was founded in 1984 and enrolled students between the ages of 13 and 18 years, with a capacity for 120 students in Its final years.

Cascade school was accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

In October 1985, five students went missing on a hike in Lassen County. Two helicopters took part in the search for the missing students.

In September 1998, 85 students and staff members were evacuated from the school due to a nearby forest fire that endangered the school.

The length of their therapeutic programs was between 18 and 23 months. During the program, students would take part in a series of eight therapeutic workshops. These eight workshops were called propheets and they lasted twenty-four hours.

In 2002, the school arranged a wilderness trip to the Warner Mountain District.

The cascade school closed in January 2004. After closure, the campus was sold to Julian Youth Academy.
