Congratulations, local students: you may be attending school in an historic building. L.A. Now reports that Hollywood High School will be added to the National Register of Historic Places later this month.

The school on Sunset Blvd. and Highland Ave.is known for its famous alumni, including Laurence Fishburne, Carol Burnett and Swoosie Kurtz; its mural facing east towards the Hollywood sign, and its architecture.

The push to have the school added to the registry came from the Hollywood High School Alumni Association, and was approved on January 4.

  • Sweet article - but what does adding the school to the registry actually mean/do?

    It means they can't tear it down to build a wal-mart,(or anything else for that matter) and maintnance is subsidized.

    Swoozie Kurtz?  How about James Garner, Mickey Rooney, John Ritter, Judy Garland, to name only a very few?
