Members of the Los Angeles High School Community!

WE HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU JOIN US!

Los Angeles High School originally opened in downtown LA in 1873. However, on September 10, 1917, after relocating four times downtown, LA High opened its doors at its new, permanent home located at Olympic & Rimpau.

On October 21, 2017, please join us for our Roman Renaissance Centennial Gala at the fabulous Petersen Automotive Museum, as we celebrate 100 years at Olympic and Rimpau.
