- 🎥 From the cutting room archives of "FREEWAY CITY"....
This was an extended sequence about the state of Gardena High School that was cut from the final version of Freeway City.
Gardena High School is not actually located within the jurisdiction/city limits of the city of Gardena and falls under the control of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The campus is adjacent to Gardena.
Everyone I interviewed had strong opinions about Gardena High and its interesting to hear all the angles.
GHS motto: "If you can dream it, You can achieve it."

I grew up in Gardena and graduated Gardena High School in 1974. We were the Mohicans back then and won the Marine League football championship. We all got along together for the most part. It was a well balanced Black, Brown, White, Asian mix. There were a lot of clubs to keep you active; Key Club, Interact, Squires, etc. Most Asians there took some sort of martial art since Bruce Lee was at the height of his career.I personally took karate and judo. I am of Japanese ethnicity and remember playing basketball during PE against a group of blacks and when they did a fast break, I got lucky and high kicked the basketball, breaking up their fast break. The blacks froze and said, “That MF know karate!” I knew many of the black athletes since we all played football or basketball together at one time or another. I remember one nutrition break went to the Men’s room to pee. You never walked into the restroom by yourself but I had to pee. Two blacks who I didn’t know followed me and said “Give me yo money MF.” As I turned around, I heard this other voice saying, “He coo, leave him alone.” It was a black football player I had known since Peary Jr High when we had PE together. He had my back and the other 2 black dudes left. I said “Thanks D.” Great memories of Gardena High School. Although the demographics have changed, I still drive there for the food. Gone now are Teds, Naomi’s, Harry’s Aloha, Meiji Market, Tin Sing, Tijuana Inn, Lori’s, Casa Martin, etc. Diana’s, Josie’s, Giulianos and Pit Burger are still there. Great fond memories.
I’m going too this school right now I started 2023 and I’m here 2024
If you went to Gardena high. You remember Mr. G's class
You remember Mr. Kennedy's selling Nachos
It was like a mini prison YARD
What year did you graduate?
Went to Gardena high from 92-93
I graduated from Gardena in 2001. Man it was a rough school. Gangs fights drugs. If you can make it thru gardena you could make it almost anywhere. Though it was tough and myself included had to fight to survive several times I miss it. Simpler times
Real shit Garr
I’m a current student at Gardena high. I’m class of 2025 sadly
G House. Miss them day. Late 90' early 2000 active. Few of us Samoan when there and it was active
Best teacher was Mr. Garcia. Auto mechanics.
Me too! Who are you!? It was rough back then
My Daughter was at Gardena when that shooting happened and was on lockdown while the PD was looking for the shooter
Scary stuff, man.
Went to school here in the late 80's and it sounds as though not much has changed. Then again, it's true of many schools these days.
Man when I went to Gardena there was a shooting with lockdown till midnight, metal detectors at the entrance, race riots, and I used to sit on a park bench in biology because there were too many students and not enough desks.
When I went to that school many different gangs.
GHS was such a great school in the 70s. Sure, certain groups kept to themselves but overall, I think we got along really well. Once they experienced the first drive by (early 80s?). It was game over. Why did LAUSD decide it was a great idea to bring in kids that had nothing to do with our community? Now it’s turned into total crap. LAUSD did the same thing to Peary MS. Thanks for nothing. Mohicans had pride, Panthers… not so much.
We NEED white people
My cousins Don Young and Junior Leleia were football standouts at Gardena high in the 70s
My class ring is a mohican. Class 85.
yea lausd split kids up into groups and if ur late transfer ur not an asset u r told show up and u pass if u do the work good but if u wanna learn then u can go to college
Why would they use that clip of that shooting for the intro? That shooting wasn't even gang related. Oh boy was tryna show off on some wannabe shit by bringing a gun to school and had a negligent discharge. It was not gang related lol..... I was goin there when this shit happened.. Class of '11
Naw it was definitely gang related speak on what you know !
I went there too and everybody that was really involved know that was for the g13s
@@chrisjones2211 that shit was not gang related. Oh boy was a wannabe ETG and was tryna show off by bringin a gun to school. The gun went off in his backpack and hit our homeboy and his sister. Speak what YOU know. G13s not hostile towards Blacks.
@@southwest9389 you forgot we had a race riot with the g13s the day before by McDonald’s .You was not involved. Speak Facts ! You don’t even know who oh boy is btw yea he was a wanna be but it was for the G13s
@@southwest9389 the shooting was an accident tho !
nah he threw his bag tht clip is false information tht was speculation
Yup, slammed his backpack on the desk and the gun went off. I’m not justifying him bringing a gun to school but that clip was false info
@@dougg1e they dont understand his home life or the situation he was in to have the weapon but it was a bad situation all around the system needs to b evaluated
I'm graduated 07' and yo, it was rough for awhile, but you acclimate
😅its till😮Krazy years and year's resolutions Apent years ago 😂
