Los Amigos High School, located in Fountain Valley, Orange County, California, is one of seven high-schools of the Garden Grove Unified School District - recipient of the 2004 Broad Prize for Excellence in Urban Education. Los Amigos High School is located at the southeast corner of Newhope St. and Heil Ave. - one block east of Mile Square Park. ==School history== Los Amigos High School first opened its doors to students in 1968. The first classes of 1968-69 were sophomores who had been freshmen at La Quinta High School (Westminster, California) and new freshmen from Fitz Intermediate School, so there were only two classes (freshmen and sophomores) during that first school year. As the years progressed, freshmen were added. The second year (1969–70) had three classes—freshmen, sophomores and juniors. It would be academic year 1970-71 before the school had all four classes—freshmen through seniors. The first graduating class was 1971. The class of 1972 collected enough money to paint Los Amigos High School and the school mascot, the Lobo (wolf), across the front of the gymnasium as shown in the photo above. Hal Butler was the principal during these early years. Conceived at a time when "open education" was the movement of the day in public education, Los Amigos was constructed in a rather unconventional manner for the warm climate of Southern California. Not only were both of the school's primary classroom buildings - the "L" and "M" buildings - built with interior corridors, all classrooms were built without doors! It would not be until the late 1990s before all classrooms at Los Amigos were provided with doors. Recently the school installed several new classrooms the "A","B","C" and "D" portables to accommodate the increasing number of freshmen each year. Since opening its doors in 1968, Los Amigos has been led by the following Principals: 1968 - ?: Hal Butler, 199? - 1998: George Wilson, 1998 - 2009: Connie Van Luit, 2009 - 2014: Robin Patterson 2014–present: Vicky Braddock Best High Schools- Silver Medal.〔http://education.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/listings/high-schools/california/los_amigos_high_school〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Los Amigos High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
