Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo High School is a high school in Long Beach, California. The school is a part of the Long Beach Unified School District.
History
In the Winter of 1996, the ground was broken for a new high school in West Long Beach. The school officially opened in September 1996 and only started with ninth and tenth grade and a student body of approximately 975 students. Since Cabrillo High School was still under construction at that time, the original plan for the school was that once students completed tenth grade, all students would be transferred to one of the other five comprehensive high schools to complete their secondary education. The tenth-grade students really liked Cabrillo so much that efforts made by the students and parents led the Cabrillo Administration and the LBUSD Board of Education to add eleven and twelve grades. After their requests were made, Cabrillo High School graduated their first class with approximately 74 students receiving their high school diplomas in 1999.Academics
Throughout the years, Cabrillo has seen tremendous instructional changes through multiple 'house' pathways or :Cabrillo Academy of Global Logistics

These SLC's provide Cabrillo students with more options after high school—ranging from college to military and career opportunities.
