La Quinta High School

La Quinta High School was founded in 1963, "the fifth" high school to be founded in the Garden Grove Unified School District. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, La Quinta gained notoriety for expressed racial tensions between those of Asian and Hispanic/Latino descent.[1][2] In 1994, La Quinta was known for a tuberculosis outbreak of 106 students and faculty who tested positive, and subsequent quick response and compliance with county public health officials.[3] In 2009, La Quinta again made headlines for student demonstrations, unexpected for a school of its demographics, in support of a teacher allegedly abused by the high school's administration.
