Construction of Mark Keppel High School started December 19, 1938, three days after the ground-breaking ceremonies. The school was just one of thousands of projects built by the Public Works Administration during the Great Depression, but this was one that the cities of Monterey Park, Alhambra, the Alhambra High School District, and the unincorporated Wilmar section of Los Angeles County would be proud to call their own.

The Mark Keppel student body has long been characterized as a harmonious, hard working group of multi-cultural and multi-racial students from the surrounding communities. Since its inception, Mark Keppel High has been in competition with cross-town rival Alhambra High, which always seemed to enjoy “favorite-son” status with the Alhambra community and school district. This article is about the school in Alhambra, California. ...


Mark Keppel High has been through it all: the austerity and uncertainty of the Great Depression and World War II, the prosperity, hot rods and slicked back hair of the 1950s, the civil unrest and Counterculture of the 1960s, the globalization and self-absorption of the 1970s, the White Flight in the 1980s, and a redrawing of the feeder-school lines in the mid-1990s.

The redrawing of the feeder-school lines has had a profound effect on MKHS; the elementary school students of the Highlands area of Monterey Park were re-routed from Alhambra High to Mark Keppel High.

Architecture

Mark Keppel High School is designed in the Streamline Moderne architectural style, a variant of the Art Deco, and a product of the Great Depression. While the Art Deco celebrated the mechanization of the Jazz Age with big, bold, vertical designs, exotic materials, and elaborate decorations, the Streamline Moderne was a more reserved and utilitarian style. The Streamline Moderne mimicked the fast, dynamic look of machines with sleek, aerodynamic and nautical forms, low horizontal designs, rounded corners, and shiny materials.

The architecture of Mark Keppel High School features rounded corners in and outside the auditorium, on the staircase leading up to the front entrance, and in all the interior stairwells. Incised horizontal lines cut through the brick stringcourse which wraps the lower part of the building and the brick pillars between the windows. The stucco texture coat of the facade features designs that emphasize horizontal shapes; blocks between the windows on both floors and along the top of the building contribute to the geometric, yet sleek look of the building. The uppermost block is bounded by a horizontal brick band, and the building is crowned with a small inset ledge. Extra handrails are found in front of the windows in the second floor hallways, in front of the display cases around the administration offices, and on the north wing exterior staircase.

Murals

Mark Keppel High School features three bas relief murals made by native Southern California artist, Millard Sheets. Millard Owen Sheets (1907-1989) was a American painter and an important representative of the California School of painting. ...


The three enamel on stainless steel murals entitled "Early California" decorate the exterior of the auditorium, and depict the founding of California as well as the regional features of Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County is a county in California and is the most populous county in the United States. ...


The largest mural crowns the entrance to the auditorium and depicts the three main groups that colonized and populated California: the Spanish Conquistadors, the Catholic Missionaries, and American Pioneers. The mural features a golden California on a backdrop of green mountain ranges, dotted with golden Redwood trees, and capped with a large reflective stainless steel sun wrapped with a sunburst decoration. On the left, the Conquistador goes before his ship, claiming the new land in the name of Spain. In the center, a Missionary kneels down, gingerly placing a mission in Southern California. On the right, a Miner 49’er pans for gold while his wife holds their child and rifle, their covered wagons behind them. Conquistadors (Spanish: []) (English: Conqueror) were Spanish soldiers, explorers and adventurers who invaded and conquered much of the Americas and Asia Pacific, bringing them under Spanish colonial rule between the 15th and 17th centuries, starting with the 1492 settlement by Christopher Columbus in what is now the Bahamas // Hernán Cort...

The two smaller murals are located on the southern facade of the auditorium, facing toward Hellman Ave. The mural on the left depicts early Los Angeles County with the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, the San Gabriel Mission surrounded by orange groves in the center, a dairy farm with Cowboy below, and the Long Beach Harbor in the south.

Student Body

The students of Mark Keppel High always reflect the time periods, and the surroundings in which they live.


Throughout the 1940s the White and Hispanic students got along harmoniously and conflicts were few. Aztec alumni served gallantly in various branches of the military in World War II; Aztecs who remained on the home front reminded students to conserve valuable resources, while others volunteered at area USO’s. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... Combatants Allied powers: China France Great Britain Soviet Union United States and others Axis powers: Germany Italy Japan and others Commanders Chiang Kai-shek Charles de Gaulle Winston Churchill Joseph Stalin Franklin Roosevelt Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Hideki Tōjō Casualties Military dead: 17,000,000 Civilian dead: 33,000... In the United States, the United Service Organizations (USO) was established to provide support to U.S. military personnel around the world. ...


Student participation in activities and school spirit soared throughout the 1950s as the Mark Keppel-Alhambra rivalry (the oldest inter-school rivalry in the California Interscholastic Federation) kicked into high gear. Football games became so popular that they had to be held in the Rose Bowl to accommodate the crowds, and the rivalry became so intense that it soon expanded beyond the football stadium and into other extracurricular activities. This does not cite any references or sources. ... The California Interscholastic Federation (abbreviated CIF) is the governing body for high school sports in the state of California. ... The Rose Bowl is a stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Pasadena, California. ...


The 1960s began deceptively peacefully, but then the 1967/68 school year saw a radical cultural shift. School spirit and participation in school activities waned as the sixties counterculture found its place on the campus; ASB became to be perceived as an exclusive clique whose activities only inflated their own egos; anti-war sentiment over the Vietnam War became widespread; ethnic activism spurred students to protest. The school dress code was seldom enforced as boys began sporting mop top haircuts, and girls began wearing pants to school unchallenged. Meanwhile, racial tensions emerged as Whites moved out and more Hispanics moved in from East Los Angeles, making Mark Keppel High a school “made up of strangers.” An attempt to unify Monterey Park schools with the city boundaries, which was an attempt to isolate its largely white student body (from the largely hispanic student body coming from Garvey Junior High in neighboring Rosemead), failed in an election in 1970. The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ... This article needs additional references or sources to facilitate its verification. ...

The 1970s proved a volatile decade as the issues of the previous era remained unresolved. Youth received extracurricular input, from cultural programs at Barnes Park and local establishments like Ed Kretz's motorcycle shop, the guitar and record stores on Garvey, rock radio like KHJ-AM and KKDJ-FM, and contemporary programming shown on broadcast TV. But many long-time faculty at Mark Keppel stuck with an "assembly-line" approach to education, based on a largely irrelevant curriculum (with "answers" found in teacher's guides of outdated textbooks), and became discouraged and distant from increasingly rebellious students. In response to this disconnection between the educational program and 1970s realities, students who had their own vehicles drove off-campus, and used drugs and alcohol during the unrestricted hour-long "open campus" lunchtimes. Younger students started informal parties at the nearby "smoker's alley" under the Almansor bridge at the I-10 freeway, and academic and athletic achievement suffered. A perception of school identity was particularly affected by use of a "split schedule," where neighboring Alhambra High School was used in afternoons as a temporary replacement for Mark Keppel High, during extensive building renovations in 1974-1975. The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...


Racial tensions continued, as longer-haired sandal-wearing skateboard-riding white students called "surfers" felt targeted with intimidation and gang violence by groups of hispanics called "cholos" (and their girlfriends called "cholas," noted for excessive makeup and listening to KRLA-AM) who were then living a "la vida loca" lifestyle. Although second-generation Japanese-American students largely intermixed socially and academically with whites in the 1970s, local Hispanics (including "Lomas" gang members of the Rosemead/South San Gabriel areas) dropped out in large numbers (and spent daytimes marking neighborhoods with spray-painted graffiti, and spent nighttimes engaging in violent turf battles with the nearby San Gabriel-based "Sangra" gang). To prevent fights at the school, students served as volunteer hall monitors during classtimes, and a hallway-pass system was enforced. But this couldn't prevent activities occurring off the campus, and as in one example, pregnancies became common among underage 14 to 17 year-old Hispanic girls of the area.


News accounts of the 1970s covered numerous drive-by murders by gangs in nearby South San Gabriel, described arrests of local hispanics (who had returned following military service in Vietnam) for marijuana and heroin, and robberies of retail stores like the local "Stop N' Go" were also frequent occurrences. A memorial page in the Keppel 1977 high school annual featured a freshman called "Angel," who drowned in 2 feet of water in nearby Legg Lake, while under the influence of PCP ("angel dust"). Local police at the time could be more easily located at the parking lots of the "Tiki's" nightclub (on Potrero Grande) and at the "Other Ball" strip club (on Garvey in San Gabriel), than patrolling their assigned areas. In response to this community decline, many white and Asian parents transferred their children to alternate middle schools like El Repetto (to avoid gang violence at Garvey Junior High) and to alternate high schools like Alhambra (to avoid some of the violent graduates of Garvey Junior High) in the later 1970s.


But as the 1970s drew to a close, the predominantly White and Hispanic student population of Mark Keppel High slowly shifted as larger numbers of Taiwanese immigrated to United States. Monterey Park became a haven for Asian immigrants because of its proximity to downtown Los Angeles and magazines and advertisements that reached all the way to Hong Kong. High-density housing and shopping developments along Garfield Avenue were marketed to these new residents, and stories of home buyers riding bicycles with grocery sacks full of cash (and offering top-dollar purchases) were circulated. The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ... Location within Los Angeles County in the state of California Coordinates: State California County Los Angeles County Mayor Betty Tom Chu Area    - City 19. ...


In spite of editorials in the "Monterey Park Progress" newspaper (which urged residents to invite newcomers into their social groups and to encourage them to adopt American culture), the emerging sea of Chinese-language storefront signs on Garvey, Garfield and Atlantic Boulevards changed the perception of Monterey Park to the “Chinese Beverly Hills.” (The derogatory term "FOB" meaning "Fresh Off (the) Boat," was sometimes heard, althought true refugee Cambodian and Vietnemese "boat people" didn't arrive until later in the 1980s). Another common saying was "Will the last American to leave Monterey Park, please remember to bring the flag?" Participation in school activities and school spirit continued to wane, but did so because of immigrant students’ unfamiliarity with American high school culture rather than with the prevailing counterculture and disillusionment of the times.


The 1990s seemed to be a return to happy times as the younger immigrants became acclimated to American culture while in elementary school and made their way into Mark Keppel High. Student interest was reborn and new clubs formed with more emphasis on the stewardship of the environment and social consciousness. The nineties became a veritable Renaissance of fresh optimism, exemplary academic achievement, exceptional student participation in school activities, and history-making success in athletics. For the band, see 1990s (band). ...


Today Mark Keppel High marches proudly and confidently into the new millennium, continually raising the bar for academic achievement, school club participation, sports records, and school reputation.


Mark Keppel has an active local campus chapter of San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity.[1]

Mark Keppel High School in California's Alhambra Unified School District has been far exceeding its growth targets set by the California State Department of Education on the Academic Performance Index (API) for the last four years.
Keppel has a very strong AVID program, where student data are frequently analyzed and course assignments are closely monitored to ensure students are meeting their A-G requirements, those courses necessary for admission to any University of California.
The parent community is very active at Keppel, a neighborhood high school with a student population from five local feeder schools.
