Compton High School

In a remarkable transformation of a historic institution built in 1896, Compton High School proudly reopened its doors in August 2025 with a state-of-the-art campus designed to inspire and empower future generations. The journey began in 2015 when community voters approved a $350 million bond measure to fund this ambitious new beginning.

The renowned architectural firm DLR Group led the visionary design in close partnership with project management firm Cumming Group and construction company Swinerton. Guided by its commitment to the community through the "Built by Compton" Initiative, the Compton Unified School District (CUSD) created pathways for local workers and businesses to actively participate in the project and construction trades. After a decade of dedication and collaboration, this joint effort culminated in a 223,650 square foot campus that redefines education throughout the district.
