Garden Grove High School is located in Garden Grove, California. It is a member of the Garden Grove Unified School District. The school's athletic teams are known as the Argonauts.
The Garden Grove Union High School District was established in 1921 in response to attempts by neighboring school districts to annex the Garden Grove area. GGHS opened its doors in September 1921 in temporary facilities. The school moved to its present location on Stanford Avenue in 1923.
The school's athletic teams were originally known as "Chili Peppers," reflecting the dominant local crop of the time. Later in the 20s, the more dignified "Argonauts" was chosen.
GGHS was badly damaged by the 1933 Long Beach earthquake; the main classroom building suffered a partial collapse and one student was killed. The structure was rebuilt and is still in use as the language arts building (This has changed since 2006). It also houses the Argonaut Hall of Fame and Museum, chronicling the school's long history.
In the 2004-2005 school year, Garden Grove High School was named a California Distinguished School.
GGHS grew with the post-World War II boom and by the Sixties, it was joined by six other high schools in what is now the Garden Grove Unified School District.
Alumni: actor-writer; Steve Martin; millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett; baseball star Lenny Dykstra; founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band John McEuen; singer Kathy Westmoreland.
