Compton High School stood for over a century on the culture and values of the Compton community. In respecting that rich tradition and history, our design for Compton High School carefully honors its commitment to the community while paving a new educational standard for students and staff. The vision for the new high school meticulously unfolded over the last decade through intentional community and stakeholder outreach.

The 223,650-SF future-ready learning campus is intentionally tailored to create connections between its buildings, spanning 34 acres. Through the campus’ Academic Boulevard, students are immersed in opportunities for project-based learning, flexible learning environments, and CTE curriculum. Compton’s notable athletics success shines through a state-of-the-art stadium, tennis courts, and a half-size Olympic pool, exposing students and fans to collegiate caliber athletics facilities. The Andre “Dr. Dre” Young Performing Arts Center is named and made possible through a generous $10 million contribution from famed Compton resident, Andre Young. Compton’s historical performing arts culture is perpetuated through the 900-seat performing arts facility.
