Huntington Beach High School

Huntington Beach High School (HBHS) is a public high school in Huntington Beach, California. Built in 1906, it is part of the Huntington Beach Union High School District. HBHS is a California Distinguished School. Huntington Beach High School is also the home of the Academy for the Performing Arts.

History

Beginnings: The School on Wheels

Huntington Beach High School's founding was one of uncertainty and political opposition. Originally known as Las Bolsas High School, the school opened in Los Alamitos in 1902 and served as a secondary school for Westminster, Garden Grove, Los Alamitos, Bolsa, New Hope, Fountain Valley, Chica, Ocean View and Springdale elementary districts. However, after only one student showed up for class, the site was scrapped four days after its opening. After attempts to find a permanent location failed due to political opposition and controversy, the remaining districts of Ocean View, Springdale and Fountain Valley were joined by those of Huntington Beach and Newport Elementary.

High school

A high school (also secondary school, senior school, secondary college) is a school that provides adolescents with part or all of their secondary education. It may come after primary school or middle school and be followed by higher education or vocational training.

Terminology

The term "high school" originated in Scotland, with the world's oldest high school being Edinburgh's Royal High School from 1505. The Royal High School was used as a model for the first public high school in the United States, Boston Latin School founded in Boston, Massachusetts.

The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia, along with most of Britain and parts of Australia, Bangladesh and Canada, high school means the same thing as secondary school, but instead of starting in 9th grade, these "secondary schools" begin at ages 11 or 12.

Country by country

Australia

In Australia, high school is a secondary school, from Year 7 or Year 8 through to Year 12, varying from state to state. High school immediately follows primary (elementary) school; therefore, a Year-7 Australian high-school student is sometimes as young as 12. In Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, the term "high school" generally refers to Years 7–10, whereas the term "College" is used for Years 11–12. In Victoria the term "secondary college" has largely replaced the term "high school" following the reforms of the Labor Government in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some schools have retained the name "high school" (such as Melbourne High School) and many have now dropped the "secondary" and are simply known as "college".

High school (disambiguation)

High school is the last segment of compulsory secondary education in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Scotland, the United States, and other countries; the term also refers to the building where such education takes place.

    History

    The United States historically had a demand for general skills rather than specific training/apprenticeships. High school enrollment increased when schools at this level became free, laws required children to attend until a certain age, and it was believed that every American student had the opportunity to participate regardless of their ability.

    In 1892, in response to many competing academic philosophies being promoted at the time, a working group of educators, known as the "Committee of Ten" was established by the National Education Association. It recommended twelve years of instruction, consisting of eight years of elementary education followed by four years of high school. Rejecting suggestions that high schools should divide students into college-bound and working-trades groups from the start, and in some cases also by race or ethnic background, they unanimously recommended that "every subject which is taught at all in a secondary school should be taught in the same way and to the same extent to every pupil so long as he pursues it, no matter what the probable destination of the pupil may be, or at what point his education is to cease."

    Huntington Beach, California

    Huntington Beach is a seaside city in Orange County in Southern California. The city is named after American businessman Henry E. Huntington. The population was 189,992 during the 2010 census, making it the most populous beach city in Orange County and the seventh most populous city in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim MSA. Its estimated 2014 population was 200,809. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the southwest, by Seal Beach on the northwest, by Costa Mesa on the east, by Newport Beach on the southeast, by Westminster on the north, and by Fountain Valley on the northeast.

    Huntington Beach (locally initialized "HB") is known for its long 9.5-mile (15.3 km) stretch of sandy beach, mild climate, excellent surfing, and beach culture. The ocean waves are enhanced by a natural effect caused by the edge-diffraction of open ocean swells around Santa Catalina Island. Swells generated predominantly from the North Pacific in winter and from a combination of Southern Hemisphere storms and hurricanes in the summer focus on Huntington Beach, creating consistent surf all year long, hence the nickname "Surf City".

    Huntington Beach (rate center)

    Huntington Beach is the rate center in the 657/714 area code in Orange County. It consists of most of the city of Huntington Beach, half of the city of Fountain Valley, and a small portion of the city of Westminster.

    High School

    by: Jeremy Fisher

    Bubble gum and house parties
    When you stole your parents rum
    And tried to screw everything that could breathe
    Back in high school we didn't have a whole lot to do
    We watched the world go by on the television screen
    Said it's the 90's kids that's way out this is way in
    Go beat each other up on the dance floor
    Told us drugs were no good
    But then we smoked 'em and liked 'em
    So much that we smoked a little more
    We liked 'em so much, we smoked a little more
    Did I call your name?
    Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you?
    You're so the same but your so different
    I didn't recognize you
    It's kinda hard with all that sexual confusion
    Sometimes you don't know if you're gay or straight
    But what's the difference, it's a wonderful illusion
    Most times you won't make it past second base
    I'm in a band, we kinda suck but we don't now it yet
    And I don't care anyway
    'Cuz soon, I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent
    Support my kid and tell him all about way back in daddy's day
    I'll tell him all about way back in daddy's day
    Did I call your name?
    Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you?
    You're so the same but your so different
    I didn't recognize you
    Some years later by a soda coolerator
    In a corner store back in my home town
    This stranger smiles at me, said
    "Remember the class of '93?"
    And for some reason it makes him look real proud
    After all the good times he said we had
    He looks at me, scratches his head
    And asked me where the hell I ever went
    And the funny thing is that I never even knew him
    But he coulda been any one of my high school friends
    Did I call your name?
    Did you hear me singin' that song that I wrote for you?
    Your so the same but your so different
    I didn't recognize you
    Did I call you name?
    Singin' that song that I wrote for you
    Singin' that song I wrote for you
