Garfield Community Center & Garfield High School (#74)

Built in 1920, Garfield High School started as a temporary 12-room wooden structure that housed 282 incoming freshmen who transferred from Broadway High School. The new, three-story school opened in September 1923 with more than 1,000 students. Located in the heart of the Central District, Garfield has been known for its diverse ethnic and racial student population.
