Phineas Banning High School
The ivy covered brick building suffered damage in the 1971 Sylmar earthquake and was torn down in 1973.In fall 1975, the new building was opened on the grounds with a Lakme Avenue address.Along with the new building, a new gymnasium and swimming pool were added to the campus—the home of the Banning Pilots.It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD.[3] After several years of repeated failure to improve its unsatisfactory performance, Banning High School entered LAUSD's Public School Choice process in 2012,[4] which allowed teacher teams to develop reform plans.
