Gardena High School (GHS) is a public high school in the Harbor Gateway neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States, adjacent to the City of Gardena.[3] It serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Small Learning Communities

[edit]

Gardena High School has two magnets and two academies on campus: the Global Business Magnet, the Law and Public Service Magnet, the Creative Arts Academy and the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics Academy.

History

[edit]

GHS opened in 1907.[4][5] In Spring 1956, the junior high school classes stayed at the old Gardena High School while the high school classes moved into a new building designed by architects Henry L. Gogerty (1894–1990) and D. Stewart Kerr.[6] Up until the opening of the new Gardena High School, high school students held morning shifts, while junior high school students held afternoon shifts.[7] The junior high is now known as Peary Middle School.

It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD.[8]

Attendance boundary

[edit]

The school serves the City of Gardena, portions of Carson, and portions of Los Angeles (including Harbor Gateway and portions of Wilmington).[9]

Features

[edit]

The northern end of the campus has LAUSD staff housing, Sage Park Apartments.[10] It takes up 3.5 acres (1.4 ha) of land. It opened in 2015.[11] Its buildings have three and four stories each, and 90 units total are present.[12]

Demographics

[edit]

As of the school year 2008–09, there were a total of 3,186 students attending the high school.[4]
