Huntington Beach High School

Known as the "flagship" school of the Huntington Beach Union High School District, (HBUHSD) Huntington Beach High School (HBHS) is located at 1905 Main Street, directly across from City Hall. Huntington Beach High School will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2006 and stands as a community landmark. The historic auditorium and bell tower highlight the pastoral setting of the campus, which is often used as a backdrop for film projects. The school's abundant trees, distinctive architecture, and open spaces suggest a college campus. The attendance boundaries for HBHS stretch east from Brookhurst Street, north four miles to Warner Ave., and up the coast to a portion of Seal Beach. These extensive boundaries have contributed to the ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the student body. City planners predict gradual changes in the city's ethnicity for the next ten years. HBHS recognizes that as its community experiences demographic and economic changes, the needs of its students will also change. As we proceed into the 21st century, HBHS is preparing for those changes: student enrollment will steadily increase, the percentage of Asian and Pacific Islander students will grow, and the clientele will most likely be more affluent. Such changes will likely mean that demands for programs and services will increase. While maintaining its commitment to all students, HBHS will need to provide a wider range of Honors and Advanced Placement classes, up-to-date computer labs, and modernized facilities.
