Pacific Grove High School (PGHS) is a public high school located in Pacific Grove, California, between Carmel and Monterey.
[edit] History
The City of Pacific Grove formed the Pacific Grove Unified School District in 1895. On June 32, 1896 the City passed a bond issue to build the town's first high school. Pacific Grove High School was Monterey County's first public high school, but today it is its smallest. The first class graduated in June, 1898. The school has changed locations twice since then, first to what is now the Pacific Grove Middle School (PGMS), then to its current location on Sunset.
Pacific Grove shares a long-standing rivalry with Carmel High School, where every year the two football teams compete for a bronze shoe in the Shoe Game.
PGHS currently has a student population hovering between 550 and 650.
Current additions to PGHS include the new football stadium (finished in 2009), and additions to the multi- purpose room. New additions to the gym and locker rooms are currently under construction and are to be finished around the end of the 2011 summer.
