Compton High School stood for over a century on the culture and values of the Compton community. In respecting that rich tradition and history, our design for Compton High School carefully honors its commitment to the community while paving a new educational standard for students and staff. The vision for the new high school meticulously unfolded over the last decade through intentional community and stakeholder outreach.

The new Compton High School features a future-ready learning campus, intentionally tailored to create connections between its buildings.

Through the campus鈥� Academic Boulevard, students are immersed in opportunities for project-based learning, flexible learning environments, and CTE curriculum. Compton鈥檚 notable athletics success shines through the Eddie Thomas Competition Gymnasium and Ramseur Stadium and Athletic Field, exposing students and fans to collegiate caliber athletics facilities. The Andrew 鈥淒r. Dre鈥� Young Performing Arts Center is named and made possible through a generous $10 million contribution from famed Compton alumnus, Andre Young. Compton鈥檚 historical performing arts culture is perpetuated through the 1,200-seat performing arts facility.
