Los Amigos High School, located in Fountain Valley, California, is one of seven high schools in the Garden Grove Unified School District. Los Amigos High School is located at the southeast corner of Newhope Street and Heil Ave and is one block east of Mile Square Park. School history Los Amigos High School first opened its doors to students in 1968. The first classes of 1968-69 were sophomores who had been freshmen at La Quinta High School (Westminster, California) and Santiago High School (Garden Grove, Ca) New freshmen came from Fitz Intermediate School, as well as Peters Junior High School. There were only two classes (freshmen as sophomores) during that first school year. As the years progressed, freshmen were added. The second year (1969–70) had three classes—freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. It would be the academic year 1970-71 before the school had all four classes—freshmen through seniors. The first graduating class was 1971. The class of 1971 and 1972 wrote both the fight song and the Alma Mater. Although the colors of the school, black and orange were assigned by the district, the Lobo Mascot was picked by the 2 classes as well. The class of 1972 collected enough money to paint Los Amigos High School and the school mascot, the Lobo (wolf), across the front of the gymnasium as shown in the photo above. Hal Butler was the principal during these early years. Conceived at a time when "open education" was the movement of the day in public education, Los Amigos was constructed in a rather unconventional manner for the warm climate of Southern California. Not only were both of the school's primary classroom buildings - the "L" and "M" buildings - built with interior corridors, all classrooms were built without doors. It would not be until the late 1990s before all classrooms at Los Amigos were provided with doors. Recently the school installed several new classrooms the "A","B","C" and "D" portables to accommodate the increasing number of freshmen each year. The school has now remodeled their "M" and "L" buildings with new modifications to the classrooms. The "L" building has been dubbed the 100 Building and the "M" building has been named the 200 building. Since opening its doors in 1968, Los Amigos has been led by the following Principals: 1968 - ?: Hal Butler, 1970s?: Ken Calkins 199? - 1998: George Wilson, 1998 - 2009: Connie Van Luit,
