EspañolALEXANDER HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL (LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA)
(Redirected from Alexander Hamilton High School (Los Angeles))
'Alexander Hamilton High School', commonly referred to as 'Hamilton High' or 'Hami', is a public high school in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Hamilton High, similar in style to UCSD or Cambridge University, is sub-divided into seven "small learning communities (SLCs)."
Hamilton's school newspaper is called ''The Federalist'', a reference to The Federalist Papers, the most famous writings of the eponymous Alexander Hamilton.
The sports program at Hamilton includes sports such as basketball, soccer, football, tennis, volleyball, track and field, baseball, softball, and swim teams for boys and girls. In recent years, the boys and girls soccer teams both received spots in the playoffs, with the girls winning the invitational playoffs in the recent year. In 2006 the football team achieved a record of 8-2, the best in the history of the school, thanks to the contributions of coach Kelvin Moore.
Several neighborhoods, including Palms, Beverlywood, Cheviot Hills, Rancho Park, Century City, and Reynier Village [2], are zoned to Hamilton.
Hami's mascot "Alex" dons the school's colors green and white.
Palms Middle School and Ralph Waldo Emerson Middle School feed into Hamilton.
Hamilton opened in 1931.
On July 11, 2006, 16-year-old Ana Interiano, a student at Hamilton, was fatally shot at about 1:30 P.M. while walking home from summer school. While witnesses have said they saw a man in an SUV pull the trigger and shoot Interiano in the head, Interiano's murder case remains unsolved. [1] [2]. There is no evidence that Interiano was a member of a criminal youth gang.[3]
In fall 2007, some neighborhoods zoned to Hamilton were rezoned to Fairfax, University, and Venice high schools [3].
Hamilton is also known for the different programs within the school. These SLCs are in charge of coordinating their own curriculum and staff.
