Venice 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. Venice High School is a public school located in Los Angeles, California within the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school's English-language newspaper is The Oarsman and its Spanish-language newspaper is El Heraldo Latino. An unofficial newsmagazine, The Venice Independent was formerly run by Venice students. The school's principal is Janice Davis and the school colors are blue and white. The school was first established in 1911 when classes were held in an old lagoon bathhouse. Even though it is called Venice High School the school is east of Walgrove Avenue, which forms the boundary with the adjacent neighborhood of Mar Vista. An explanation of the school's name might be that the school predates the clear establishment of Mar Vista as a distinct community and the importance of Abbott Kinney's Venice of America to the local economy when the school was founded or because it is located on Venice Boulevard.
At Venice High School, their goal is to promote educational growth through a rigorous curriculum along with the acquisition of technical skills and knowledge that will provide a basis for lifelong learning and will create a bridge between education and career.
