I grew up in Gardena and graduated Gardena High School in 1974. We were the Mohicans back then and won the Marine League football championship. We all got along together for the most part. It was a well balanced Black, Brown, White, Asian mix. There were a lot of clubs to keep you active; Key Club, Interact, Squires, etc. Most Asians there took some sort of martial art since Bruce Lee was at the height of his career.I personally took karate and judo. I am of Japanese ethnicity and remember playing basketball during PE against a group of blacks and when they did a fast break, I got lucky and high kicked the basketball, breaking up their fast break. The blacks froze and said, “That MF know karate!” I knew many of the black athletes since we all played football or basketball together at one time or another. I remember one nutrition break went to the Men’s room to pee. You never walked into the restroom by yourself but I had to pee. Two blacks who I didn’t know followed me and said “Give me yo money MF.” As I turned around, I heard this other voice saying, “He coo, leave him alone.” It was a black football player I had known since Peary Jr High when we had PE together. He had my back and the other 2 black dudes left. I said “Thanks D.” Great memories of Gardena High School. Although the demographics have changed, I still drive there for the food. Gone now are Teds, Naomi’s, Harry’s Aloha, Meiji Market, Tin Sing, Tijuana Inn, Lori’s, Casa Martin, etc. Diana’s, Josie’s, Giulianos and Pit Burger are still there. Great fond memories.

If you went to Gardena high. You remember Mr. G's class You remember Mr. Kennedy's selling Nachos It was like a mini prison YARD

I graduated from Gardena in 2001. Man it was a rough school. Gangs fights drugs. If you can make it thru gardena you could make it almost anywhere. Though it was tough and myself included had to fight to survive several times I miss it. Simpler times

My Daughter was at Gardena when that shooting happened and was on lockdown while the PD was looking for the shooter

I’m going too this school right now I started 2023 and I’m here 2024

Went to school here in the late 80's and it sounds as though not much has changed. Then again, it's true of many schools these days.

Man when I went to Gardena there was a shooting with lockdown till midnight, metal detectors at the entrance, race riots, and I used to sit on a park bench in biology because there were too many students and not enough desks.

When I went to that school many different gangs.

GHS was such a great school in the 70s. Sure, certain groups kept to themselves but overall, I think we got along really well. Once they experienced the first drive by (early 80s?). It was game over. Why did LAUSD decide it was a great idea to bring in kids that had nothing to do with our community? Now it’s turned into total crap. LAUSD did the same thing to Peary MS. Thanks for nothing. Mohicans had pride, Panthers… not so much.

yea lausd split kids up into groups and if ur late transfer ur not an asset u r told show up and u pass if u do the work good but if u wanna learn then u can go to college

My cousins Don Young and Junior Leleia were football standouts at Gardena high in the 70s

Why would they use that clip of that shooting for the intro? That shooting wasn't even gang related. Oh boy was tryna show off on some wannabe shit by bringing a gun to school and had a negligent discharge. It was not gang related lol..... I was goin there when this shit happened.. Class of '11

My class ring is a mohican. Class 85.

nah he threw his bag tht clip is false information tht was speculation

I'm graduated 07' and yo, it was rough for awhile, but you acclimate
