El Camino Real High School
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
El Camino Real High School is a public secondary school located in the Woodland Hills district of the San Fernando Valley region of the city of Los Angeles, California. It operates within the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school, founded in 1969, was designed to emulate a small college campus, with a large central quad and an open campus policy.
El Camino Real's girl’s soccer team has won 6 CIF, California Interscholastic Federation Los Angeles City Section Championships in a row. El Camino Real's boy’s tennis team gained notoriety by winning five consecutive city championships from 2000 to 2004. In the late 1970s, El Camino Real was noted for its marching band, which won four of the first six Los Angeles City Marching Band championships in 1976, 1977, 1979, and 1980.
El Camino Real High School has a popular and successful Academic Decathlon team. The team won its first competition under then coach Mark Johnson, taking home the Los Angeles City title in 1989-1990.

With their fourth national title in 2005, the team recorded back-to-back national titles, the first for any school in 20 years.
