University High School

One of the best High Schools id say in southern California. I attended this school from 1990 to 1991. I wish i had graduated here, but i had moved away. Lots of famous people attended this school too. I had a buddy i ran into a few times name Mackenzie Astin. He is the brother of actor Sean Astin. School is not far from UCLA, and it sits in a very quiet wealthy area of West L.A. Id leave campus to go out for lunch with some buddies here. We had Tommys burgers next door. They have been long gone ever since. I didnt ditch because i love this school, i had some of the funniest and best teachers ever. Mr. Pastos. my english and math teacher. Mrs Long was cool, my science teacher. Mr. Gould my photography and graphics teacher. That was a long time ago, i am sure they are not teaching anymore. Great Track and football and tennis teams here.

I didnt go here, but I’ve had great memories around this school. Seems safe and easy going. It’s in a good neighborhood. I’ll miss being around here… They say high schools are just stepping stones to move forward. Its very very true…

I came here
(02−06) and let me tell you it has a wide variety of races attending, much were very talented amongst my years there. Some teachers are great like Ms. Nichols (retired I believe, year of ’06) Mrs. Damon my dance teacher now a P.E. teacher and Ms. Schaefer who is a great English teacher. I like this school’s art, drama, dance and sports departments because the teacher’s dedication.
Other than that this school experiments with new schedules, school routines and rules. I remember when they were testing out the truant ticket rule where if you’re tardy three times you’d get a truancy ticket. Unknowingly I got a ticket not knowing I had three tardies.

Sure I attended here but I think this HS is pretty good. If i had kids and wasn’t sending them somewhere private or charter they would probably attend UNI. One of the best HS in LAUSD on the westside imo. I dont think this place has all the violence and gangs you might see at other schools (at least when i attended 04 – 07)
Great Teachers except for Mr Farshad!

Where else in high school where you can ditch, get your teacher some ice cream, enjoy a few clouds, even teach a class as shes busy on the phone? Classes are great here, upgraded from Warriors to Bobcats? (The whole Indian thing is out of hand to tell you the truth). Teachers were genuine and had fond memories there. Mrs. Nichols pushed me hard to pursue art which has led me to where Im at so I have her to thank for.
