History

Founded in 1973, Arlington is one of 5 comprehensive high schools in Riverside Unified School District. The first graduating class at Arlington was the Class of 1975.

Arlington had since used Ramona high school’s football field for their graduations due to the influx of students they received over the years.

The school’s journalism class that produced The Mane Thing since the 1980s had ended with its last newspaper issue in early June 2019 following the retirement of the school’s journalist teacher. However, the journalism class lasted for another year but officially ended its course in June 2020.

Due to the pandemic, the Class of 2020 graduated through a drive-thru graduation at Arlington.

Plans for the $26.6 million dollar high school’s modernization construction under Measure Project O began in Winter of 2019 but did not start until the Summer of 2020. [3] [4] The construction and updates did not officially start until December 2020. [5]

Removal of 8 handball courts and previous auxiliary gym would be replaced by a 8,755 sf newly updated Auxiliary gymnasium. Along with the removal of 7 portable buildings and a building that housed the old journalism, media, and a classroom building were replaced by the new 10,262 sf Biomedical, Media Arts Academy, and Special education building.

Upgrades were also done to the school’s stadium. A 2,000 sf concession and restroom building, a 1,250 home seat expansion and newly added 1,000 visitors seat expansion of the bleachers at the track and field, and upgrades to the existing stadium field sports lighting. As well as upgrading the Administration Building, Student Service Building, and to the outdoor swimming pool and equipment.

With the school’s construction finishing in early May 2022, the Class of 2022 became the “first” class to graduate at the school’s football field in early June 2022.

Arlington hit its 50th year in 2023.
