Long Beach Polytechnic High School, Public high school in Long Beach, California
Long Beach Polytechnic High School is a public education facility on Atlantic Avenue in downtown Long Beach. The complex includes multiple instructional buildings, athletic facilities, and courtyards spread across an expansive area.
The school was founded in the late 19th century as the city sought educational facilities for its growing population. Over the decades, it moved to several locations before settling at its current address.
The campus shows elements of California school architecture, with walkways connecting buildings that spread across several blocks. Students move throughout the day between different learning areas, each designated for specific subjects and extracurricular activities.
Access to the campus is through several entrances monitored during school hours. Visitors should contact the main office in advance, as entry is restricted to students, staff, and pre-approved guests.
The school mascot is a rabbit, tracing back to the original mascot chosen over a century ago. Athletic teams carry the name Jackrabbits, and many former players went on to have professional careers.
