Glendora High School (GHS) is located in Glendora, Los Angeles County, California, United States.

History

The high school was built in 1958 on land owned by Clarks Gordan, an orange grower. Before it was built, Glendora students attended Citrus College which functioned as both a high school and junior college for the area. The land contained oak trees which still grow on the school grounds. The first graduating class of GHS was in 1959 and contained 188 students. The school's teams are known as the Glendora Tartans. This name was chosen by the first class in a vote between "Tartans" and "The Oranges".

Activities

The school is notable for being one of six schools in California to have a bagpipe squad in its band program.[citation needed] The school's Tartan Band and Pageantry participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade in 2010 and 2014, in Pasadena, California.[5]
