Schurr High School is a public high school which is part of the Montebello Unified School District, and has an enrollment of approximately 3,352 students in grades 9-12. Its campus is located in Montebello, California, United States, a suburb of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The majority of students attending this school live in the Montebello and Monterey Park area, while some also come from neighboring cities such as Commerce, East Los Angeles, and Rosemead. Schurr was established as a high school in 1971, with the campus having previously been the site of a junior high school. ==Overview== The school was named for George Miller Schurr, a former board member of the Montebello Unified School District. A placard honoring him is displayed in the main office on campus. The school previously served as Schurr Junior High School, but due to the growing population of students in the area and the significant distance from the two local public high schools at the time (Montebello High School and Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra, California) the school became a high school in 1971. The first principal was Walter Wohlheter.〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27246173〕 Most of the students who attend Schurr come from either Jack F. Macy Intermediate School, which is located in the city of Monterey Park, or Eastmont Intermediate School, which is located in East Los Angeles, just a few blocks from the Montebello city border. Though Schurr and Macy are a few blocks apart, both schools are located on Wilcox Ave. (Schurr technically on N. Wilcox since it is in a different city than Macy). Due to Schurr sitting atop a hill, it is said that Macy students simply "climb the hill" upon graduation from middle school. While Macy and Eastmont students maintain a rivalry both academically and athletically, their differences are generally considered to be put to rest once they become acclimated to Schurr and one another. Schurr High School was originally built to accommodate 1,700 students. Today, Schurr's population has nearly doubled, and school officials expect that during the 2015-2018 school years, the population will increase to around 3,700 students. The exponential growth in terms of student population has led to many students having to share lockers. The Alma Mater is based on the National Anthem of Russia and the words were written by music and history/government teacher David A. Lebow (1971-2003). Band director, Barry Ulrich (1973–86) composed the official "unofficial" fight song, "Taco Mambo.", which is played by the Spartan Legion at home athletic events and school rallies. 〔http://sterlingcreekmusic.com〕 The Schurr High School mascot is known as Sammy the Spartan, and the school's students and alumni are referred to as Spartans. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schurr High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
