Hamilton High School is located at 2955 Robertson Boulevard,
Los Angeles, California. The school consists of four multi-story
classroom buildings, two gymnasiums, a cafeteria, and an auditorium.
Brown Hall, the original classroom/administration building,
and the auditorium building which were constructed in 1936 are
classified as historical buildings.
Expansions included the
Humanities Building (1957). After we left, the Industrial
Arts Building (1966) and new cafeteria (1966) was added. In
1974, a seismic retrofit of Brown Hall was completed.
That was
quite a building.... I do remember taking French on the third
floor of the building and throwing paper airplanes out of the
window... When I was there in 1960, he front of the school
was all grass and trees.... nice place to sit in the afternoons!
Neat building!
About...
Alexander Hamilton High School, commonly referred to as Hamilton High
or Hami, is a public high school in the Los Angeles Unified School
District. Hamilton High, similar in style to UCSD or Cambridge
University, is sub-divided into seven "small learning communities
(SLCs)."
Hamilton's school newspaper is called The Federalist, a reference to The
Federalist Papers, the most famous writings of the eponymous Alexander
Hamilton.
The sports program at Hamilton includes sports such as basketball,
soccer, football, tennis, volleyball, track and field, baseball,
softball, and swim teams for boys and girls. In recent years, the boys
and girls soccer teams both received spots in the playoffs, with the
girls winning the invitational playoffs in the recent year. In 2006 the
football team achieved a record of 8-2, the best in the history of the
school, thanks to the contributions of coach Kelvin Moore.
Several neighborhoods, including Palms, Beverlywood, Cheviot Hills,
Rancho Park, Century City, and Reynier Village [2], are zoned to
Hamilton.
Hami's mascot "Alex" dons the school's colors green and white.
Palms Middle School and Ralph Waldo Emerson Middle School feed into
Hamilton.
The other high schools in District #3 were: Crenshaw • Dorsey • Hamilton • Los Angeles • Palisades Charter • University • Venice • Westchester
