History

The school was built on land donated by Southern California Edison, from which its name is derived. The Huntington Beach Union High School District created the school to meet the needs of the growing Huntington Beach population. During the 1970s, Edison High School served the second largest student population west of the Mississippi River. [3]

Academic programs

Model United Nations

The Model United Nations (MUN) program at Edison simulates United Nations committees in order to teach students skills of research, public speaking, debating, and writing, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership. [4] This Honors-level program also teaches students basic social studies information alongside MUN assignments, projects, and conferences. After Freshman year, a typically small cut occurs, allowing only two classes (seventy-four students) as Sophomores in MUN. After Sophomore year, the program is typically reduced to one class, which remains until Senior year. Edison MUN typically competes in both local and national conferences throughout the year against other top programs. During Sophomore year delegates typically travel to UC Berkeley in the spring to compete at BMUN. During Junior year delegates typically go to New York in the spring for NHSMUN. Edison MUN also holds the Edison MUN Fall Conference [5] and Edison MUN Novice Conference in the winter [6] for delegates from other schools.
