Welcome, and thank you for visiting Peninsula High School, home of the Panthers!

Whether you are a prospective family, current student, alumnus, or community member, I hope this website gives you a glimpse into what makes Peninsula High School such a special place.

Perched atop the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula, our school has earned a national reputation for academic excellence while remaining deeply committed to developing the whole student. Our students come from diverse cultural backgrounds and bring a wide range of talents and experiences to our campus. Together, they create a vibrant learning community where curiosity, respect, and a commitment to excellence are celebrated every day.

At Peninsula, we believe that success extends far beyond the classroom. Our mission is to prepare students not only for college and careers, but also for lives of leadership and service. We challenge students to think critically, embrace new opportunities, persevere through challenges, and grow into confident and compassionate individuals.

These values come to life throughout our campus. Students excel in rigorous academic programs, compete at the highest levels in athletics, perform in award-winning visual and performing arts programs, conduct meaningful research, and lead hundreds of clubs and service organizations. Whatever their passion, our students are encouraged to discover it, develop it, and pursue it with confidence.

None of this would be possible without our exceptional teachers, staff, and families. Their dedication creates a welcoming and supportive environment where students feel valued and inspired to reach their full potential. Together, we strive to ensure every student is known and empowered to succeed.

It is a privilege to serve as principal of Peninsula High School. Every day, I am inspired by the accomplishments of our students and the unwavering commitment of our staff and community. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Peninsula High School. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and sharing all that makes our Panther community extraordinary.

Warm regards,

Dr. Kyle Garrity, Principal

Peninsula High School
