LONG BEACH HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOKS 
Administrators, Teachers, and Students

If one (or more) of your ancestors attended or taught at a high school in Long Beach, California, you can look for them in 77 yearbooks online.

Three annuals are represented in this collection at http://encore.lbpl.org/iii/cpro/app
Long Beach Polytechnic High School’s Caerulea 1908–1955 (some years missing)
Woodrow Wilson High School’s Campanile 1928–1951 (some years missing)
David Starr Jordan High School’s Trailblazer 1936–1955 (some years missing)

RESEARCH TIP: School records are one of the most under-utilized resources for genealogical research. Discovering what kinds of educational opportunities were available to your ancestors may help you understand why they chose the occupations they followed as adults.
