Since opening in 1905, Redondo Union High School has developed into the second largest high school campus in the State of California,[citation needed] with an overall area of 56 acres (230,000 m2).

History

[edit]

Redondo Union High School was organized in the summer of 1905. The first classes were held in two upstairs rooms of the Masonic Building in Redondo Beach. In December of that same year, a site known as Old Chautauqua Place was selected as the location for the school.

In 1939, the Science Building was dedicated. Residents of Manhattan Beach attended Redondo Union until 1950, when Mira Costa High School opened.[3]

Redondo Union High School was a part of the South Bay Union High School District until 1993, when it dissolved.[4]

In 2013 RUHS Boys' Basketball defeated College Park to win the Division II CIF State Championship.[5]

In 2015 the Girls' Volleyball team won the CIF State Championship.[6] The RUHS Marching Band & Guard won first place in CSBC in Division 4A for their show "Above and Beyond".[7]

In 2016 Boys' Baseball again won the CIF title in Division III.[8]

In 2022 both Boys' and Girls' Soccer won the CIF Southern Section Division 2 Championships on their home stadium on the same day. [9]
