With a rich history spanning over 100 years, Compton High School is a community icon known for producing music and athletic prodigies. Celebrating this legacy, DLR Group’s design creates a campus that elevates education for all students and staff.

A new performing arts center, academic building, and athletic facilities will provide a focus on project-based learning, student exploration, and interdepartmental collaboration. New classroom spaces will provide Compton’s 2,500 students the opportunity to participate in programs such as Construction Manufacturing, Graphic Arts, A/V Technology, Communications, Robotics, and Culinary Arts. Additionally, the new football/soccer stadium and outdoor swimming pool will support Compton students pursue athletic success.

Design Concepts for the Community

DLR Group's vision for a new Compton High School incorporates community access, flexibility to support STEAM classes, ample athletic programming, and a new performing arts center generously funded by Dr. Dre.
