Cerritos
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.
Cerritos High School is a public school in Cerritos, California, serving grades 9 to 12. It is a part of the ABC Unified School District, which also oversees Artesia, Gahr and Whitney High Schools. Cerritos' current principal is Jeff Green and Vice principal is Charles Brotchner.
During construction of the campus, located across the street from the Cerritos library and city hall, Cerritos High School began its history by sharing the campus of nearby Richard Gahr High School. A rapidly expanding student population during the 1970s necessitated the campus sharing arrangement. Cerritos High is the main public high school for the City of Cerritos with a student population of approximately 2,500 students. Though the school mascot is the don, or Spanish lord, the original mascot was the donkey. The school colors are black and gold.
