• History & Memorable Moments

Bell High School began as the Bell Unit of the Huntington Park Union High School, and opened with only two classes, freshmen and sophomores. There were only 14 teachers and 325 students. Mr. Claude L. Reeves, a graduate from USC, was the first principal of Bell High School and he remained until 1939. Located in the Southeastern section of Los Angeles County, Bell High School is a multi-track Year Round comprehensive high school (grades 9-12) serving 4,375 (2006 – 2007) students from the tri-communities of Bell, Cudahy, and Maywood. One of six high schools in Local District 6, and one of forty-nine comprehensive high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Bell High School opened its doors in 1925 for 800 students. It has faithfully served the community through dramatic historical, social and technological periods of transition, and now faces even newer challenges of educating its increasing student population on the 1925 original school ground acreage. ^[1]

The ethnic makeup of our students is 97.9% Latino (2006 – 2007). This designation encompasses a broad spectrum of Spanish speaking cultures including those of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Of the remaining 2.1%, approximately 1.6% are White and .5% are Native American Indian, Asian, African American and Filipino. Mission Statement: The mission of Bell High School is to educate all students to the highest degree of their abilities socially, academically, and technologically so that they become contributing members of society. In 2005, South East High School in South Gate opened, relieving Bell. In 2006, Maywood Academy High School opened. The project page describes the school, a non-zoned magnet school, to have relieved Bell. ^[1]
