Diamond Ranch High School (or sometimes called by its acronym, DRHS) is a high school (secondary school) operated by the Pomona Unified School District (PUSD) in California, located on the hills where Diamond Bar and Phillips Ranch (Pomona) meet. In 2003, Diamond Ranch was titled a California Distinguished School by the California Department of Education. The school received popularity from its appearances in movies like The Cell, Orange County and Serenity, and its unique architectural design was recognized in the book Morphosis/Diamond Ranch High School, by Jeffrey Kipnis and Todd Gannon.
The construction of Diamond Ranch High School was originally controversial because of the inequities in the rest of the school district.
