Student activities

History

GHS opened in 1907.[3] 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.[4] Up until the opening of the new Gardena High School, high school students held morning shifts, while junior high school students held afternoon shifts.[5] The junior high is now known as Peary Middle School.

On January 18, 2011, two students were wounded when a gun brought to the school by a student accidentally discharged when the backpack containing the firearm was dropped on the ground, with a single bullet wounding both victims.[6][7] State prosecutors intend to try the 17-year-old who possessed the gun as an adult.[8]

Attendance boundary

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

Demographics

As of the school year 2008-09, there were a total of 3,186 students attending the high school.[10]
