History
[edit | edit source]Redondo Union High School was organized in the summer of 1905. The first classes were held in two upstairs rooms of the Masonic Building in Redondo Beach. In December of that same year, a site known as Old Chautauqua Place was selected as the location for the school.
In 1939, the Science Building was dedicated. Residents of Manhattan Beach attended Redondo Union until 1950, when Mira Costa High School opened.[3]
Redondo Union High School was a part of the South Bay Union High School District until 1993, when it dissolved.[4]
