Loma Linda Academy (LLA) is a K-12 college preparatory WASC-accredited school[1] run by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Loma Linda, California. Loma Linda Academy comprises three separate schools: an elementary school, a junior high, and a high school. Each school has its own principal in addition to the head principal. The school was founded June 13, 1906[2] with six students, barely a year after Ellen White had encouraged the fledgling church to establish a church and sanitarium there. [3]
Elementary
Loma Linda Academy Elementary, also known as Loma Linda Elementary or LLE, includes kindergarten through sixth grade. The current principal of the elementary school is Bill Arnold.
Junior High
Loma Linda Academy Junior High comprises seventh and eighth grades. The current principal is Gordon Day.
High School
Loma Linda Academy High School, often referred to simply as the Academy, LLA or Loma Linda Academy, includes ninth through twelfth grades. The position of high school principal is currently filled by Dr. Bob Dennis. The previous high school principal was Brent Baldwin, who took over as principal for the 2005-2006 school year. Before Baldwin, Doug Herrmann was the high school principal for 17 years. He left to become an associate superintendent of education for the Southeastern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The high school has an attendance of more than 500 students. The High School has an extremely high college bound rate, with 99% of its students enrolling in college after graduation[4]. Of those that attend college, 75% attend a four-year university, while the other 24% attend a two-year college.
Sports
All students in K-12 are required to take physical education until they have three years worth of PE in high school. The junior high and high schools also have sports teams which compete against other schools. The junior high teams play other schools throughout Southern California.
The high school sports program has teams on both the men's and women's junior varsity and varsity level. Junior varsity and varsity teams exist for flag football, soccer, basketball, baseball & softball, golf and volleyball. These teams play in the CIF Southern Section. In addition, the school has a varsity and JV mixed gender cheerleading squad. At the end of the year, both the high school and junior high athletics departments choose a female and male athlete of the year. This is determined by the amount of sports teams the person was on and the number of awards he or she won while on the team that year.
Uniforms
The school has required uniforms for all students since the 2004-2005 school year.
