South Hills High School (often known by its abbreviation, SHHS) is a public coeducational high school located in the hills in the eastern part of West Covina, California (although there is a common misconception that it is in Covina), east of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley. South Hills High School is part of the Covina-Valley Unified School District. South Hills opened in the fall of 1964, with incoming freshmen, as well as sophomore and junior transfers from Covina and Northview high schools. Its first graduating class was in June, 1966.
The buildings were designed by architect Henry L. Gogerty (1894-1990) in 1963.
During the 2007-2008 school year, there were 2,113 students. The school has grown tremendously in the last decade and has had problems with crowding in recent years. By comparison, there were 1,306 students during the 1993-1994 school year.
Demographics by ethnicity; 2007-2008
As of the 2006-2007 school year, there are three AP courses available at South Hills that are not available at other schools in the Covina-Valley Unified School District: AP French, AP Computer Science, and AP World History.
South Hills competes in the CIF Southern Section in the Palomares League. Prior to the 2014-15 school year South Hills had been a part of the Sierra League.
