School Overview

Los Angeles Senior High School, located on West Olympic Boulevard, is a historic institution serving the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Established in 1873, it holds the distinction of being the oldest high school in the city of Los Angeles. Over its long history, the campus has evolved significantly, undergoing major reconstructions—most notably following the 1933 Long Beach earthquake—to become a landmark of the Mid-City community. The school is known for its iconic Romanesque-style architecture, which has made it a recognizable feature of the local landscape for generations of Angelenos.

Today, Los Angeles Senior High functions as a comprehensive public school dedicated to preparing a diverse student body for college and career readiness. The school offers a range of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and athletic teams that reflect the vibrant culture of the surrounding area. By bridging its deep-rooted historical legacy with modern educational standards, the school strives to provide a supportive environment that fosters academic growth and personal development for its students in the heart of Los Angeles.
