Hermosa Beach is a quaint city in many aspects and here, it is common practice for students to walk to school on a regular basis. Therefore, the city provides numerous crossing guards along established routes, creating a safe “walking school bus” environment.
Registration starts with creating your own account on the district website. You will find the necessary forms to fill out and there is a list of required documentation which is common with all school registration. You will also find a link to Covid-19 information that shares county requirements and additional measures that have been implemented to keep everyone safe.
There is no high school in Hermosa Beach but both Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Union High School in Redondo Beach are very close by and available for your choice according to which academic program will best accommodate the student.
