Palos Verdes High School


Palos Verdes High School is one of three public high schools on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County, Southern California, USA. Located by the ocean in Palos Verdes Estates, the school is part of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District.

History

Originally opened in 1961, the school earned many awards for academic and athletic excellence before declining enrollments due to demographic changes led the District to close PVHS in 1991, combining three existing high schools into Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. The campus remained in use as Palos Verdes Intermediate School, with the former intermediate schools having been closed as part of the reorganization. In 2002, climbing enrollments and overcrowding at Peninsula High School led the district to reopen Palos Verdes High School. By the first year, enrollment reached 470 students.

Athletics

The athletic teams are represented by the colors red, black, and white. The nickname comes from the Greek god Poseidon, the school's official mascot. Palos Verdes competes in the Southern Section, Northern Division of the California Interscholastic Federation.
