Mission High School (San Francisco, California) - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

"Mission High School is an American public high school located in San Francisco, California. It serves grades 9-12 as part of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).

Mission is the oldest high school on its original site in San Francisco; it has been on 18th Street, between Dolores and Church, since 1896. The original campus burned in 1922, and the replacement was completed in two stages, the west wing in 1925 and the main building was dedicated by San Francisco mayor James Rolph on June 12, 1927. Originally, girls and boys had separate courtyards. The boys' is overlooked by the "baby tower", about 100 feet (30 m) high, and the girls' (right) topped by a 127-foot (39 m)-high baroque dome. Mission Creek runs beneath the school.

The school is two blocks from Mission Dolores, from which it gets its name. The current student body is extraordinarily diverse, with Latino and African American students constituting the two largest ethnic groups, although neither group makes up a majority of the student body.

The lobby leads to a theater that has 1,750 folding wooden seats on two levels and a gold leaf ceiling. Grand as any movie palace, it was outfitted with twin 35 mm projectors. Funding never came through for the elaborate pipe organ system it was promised, but the chandeliers have been re-lamped." (visit link)
