Point Loma High School is a public high school in the San Diego Unified School District in San Diego, California. It is located in the Loma Portal neighborhood of Point Loma. The school serves the neighborhoods of Point Loma and Ocean Beach. In addition, students who live in Mission Hills may choose to attend Point Loma High School as their neighborhood school.〔(San Diego Unified School District website )〕 Point Loma is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).〔(PLHS letter to parents, November 4, 2009 )〕 ==History== PLHS is the third oldest high school in the San Diego Unified School District. It was dedicated in 1925 as Point Loma Junior-Senior High school, serving grades 7 through 12. There were 386 students at its opening on September 22, 1925. The first principal was Pete Ross and there were 30 teachers. Some San Diegans opposed creating a school in Point Loma, contending it was too far away from town, but school board member Edgar F. Hastings pushed the proposal through. In its early days the school was sometimes referred to as "Hastings' folly".〔Held, Ruth Varney, "Beach Town", privately published, San Diego, 1975, page 109〕 The original three-story high school building was torn down in the 1970s as part of a statewide requirement to make all schools earthquake-safe. It was replaced by a number of two-story buildings.〔(San Diego Union-Tribune, November 11, 2005 )〕 During the 1950s it was converted to a three-year high school with the opening of Richard Henry Dana Junior High School. In 1983 it became a four-year high school. PLHS now draws from six elementary schools serving grades kindergarten through 4, and two middle schools: Dana Middle for grades 5 and 6, and Correia Middle for grades 7 and 8. The school also holds the distinction of having produced two major-league baseball pitchers who threw perfect games -- David Wells and Don Larsen. Only 21 pitchers have thrown perfect games in Major League Baseball history. On June 17, 2014, PLHS announced that Wells will be the school's head baseball coach, starting with the 2014-2015 school year. Wells had been volunteering as an assistant coach for several years, and the team's home field was named David Wells Field in 2010. 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「Point Loma High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
