For over 20 years, Port of Los Angeles High School (POLAHS) has been a pillar of academic excellence and neighborhood spirit in downtown San Pedro. Now, we have a historic opportunity to write our most exciting chapter yet—but we need your support to make it a reality.

POLAHS has submitted a transformative proposal to expand our campus onto the vacant, closed county courthouse property at 6th and Centre Street. Our plan will turn this fenced-off concrete eyesore into a modern, vibrant civic hub that revitalizes downtown and directly benefits the entire San Pedro community.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a vision that brings:

• A Regional Hub for Skilled Trades: A cutting-edge workforce development facility offering premier Welding and Construction pathways for students by day, and adult education, journeyman-level certifications (Carpentry, Electrical, Plumbing, Welding), and middle school programs after hours and on weekends.
• San Pedro’s Newest Sports & Tourism Driver: A brand-new Multipurpose Gymnasium and Theater. For the first time, POLAHS athletes will host home games on campus—freeing up crowded community parks while bringing a massive economic boost to local restaurants and shops on game days.
• An Arts District Anchor: A permanent home for our celebrated "Pixels" digital photography gallery and arts classes, a corner open-air Amphitheater, and green spaces open to the public during San Pedro’s First Thursdays and weekend events.

This expansion is more than just new buildings—it is a lasting investment in the economic, cultural, and educational future of downtown San Pedro. Sign your name today to urge local leaders to approve the POLAHS proposal and help us build a brighter future together!
