Alhambra Union High School District

Alhambra Union High School District was a high school district based in Alhambra, California.

History

On April 22, 1898, a successful election was held to establish a high school in Alhambra. The election, which passed with a vote of 49 to 9, established the Alhambra High School District. The high school began classes for twenty-three students on the second floor of Garfield School on October 1, 1898. At the first commencement in June 1899, three students received diplomas.

The need for schools grew with the population, and the communities approved bonds to provide these schools. The second building program began in 1905 with the completion of the first of three Alhambra High Schools.

Previously all of San Gabriel was a part of the district, but the California Legislature in 1931 made it legal for a high school district to be created within 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of another one, allowing San Gabriel voters to authorize the creation of a new high school district the following November.[1] Much of San Gabriel is now in the San Gabriel Unified School District.

In 2004 it merged with the Alhambra School District, which operated K-8 schools, to form the Alhambra Unified School District.[2]
