Laguna Beach High

Laguna Beach High School (LBHS), located in the heart of the coastal city of Laguna Beach, California, is the sole high school in the Laguna Beach Unified School District. Serving students in grades 9–12, the school is well-regarded for its strong academic curriculum, which includes a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses and unique elective programs. Its location in a vibrant arts community heavily influences the school’s culture, fostering a robust commitment to the visual and performing arts, alongside a competitive interscholastic athletics program.

The school is characterized by its relatively small student population compared to neighboring districts, which allows for a more personalized educational environment and close-knit campus atmosphere. LBHS emphasizes a holistic approach to student development, prioritizing both academic excellence and social-emotional well-being. By leveraging its unique seaside setting and community partnerships, Laguna Beach High provides its students with a rigorous preparatory experience aimed at success in higher education while encouraging them to be active, creative participants in their local and global communities.
