History
The school was built on the Tongva village site of Awigna, which was one of the main villages that supplied Mission San Gabriel with labor during the Spanish mission period. During the construction of the school in 1915, many artifacts from the village were unearthed. These artifacts were put on display at the school for many years. In 2004, it was reported that the whereabouts of these artifacts were unknown.
