History
In the winter of 1996, ground was broken for a new high school on the west side of Long Beach. Less than nine months later, the doors were opened for the first group of students at Cabrillo High School. The school opened in September of 1996 with grades nine and ten, and a student body of approximately 975 students. Because Cabrillo High School was still under construction, the original plan for the school was that upon completion of their tenth grade year, all students would transfer to one of the other five comprehensive high schools to complete their secondary education. However, the first tenth grade class liked the school so well they petitioned the Cabrillo administration and the Board of Education to add grade eleven and eventually grade twelve. The administration and Board of Education honored the request of the students and parents, and in June 1999, Cabrillo High School graduated its first class with approximately 74 students receiving their high school diplomas.
Mission The mission of Cabrillo High School is to insure the educational success of all students by having high expectations, a commitment to excellence, and a comprehensive program in which all students can learn and become responsible, productive citizens of the 21st century. The 21st century is the present century of the Gregorian calendar. ...
