History

Located on the site of the old General Motors plant in South Gate, California called South Gate Assembly, [2] South East High School was completed in October 2005 on a 57.45-acre (232,500 m2) plot of land. It has one of the largest campuses of any school in the LAUSD, and is bordered by the new Southeast Middle School to its west, and a comprehensive adult education center.

South East High School is part of the South Gate Education Gateway, which is composed of all the schools located on the old General Motors site.

The school was known as Southeast Area New High School #2 [3] prior to its opening. The school was built to alleviate the crowding at other schools in and around South Gate [4] including South Gate High School, Huntington Park High School, and David Starr Jordan High School. [5]

The school was the first public high school built in the South Gate area in 73 years. [6] Included in the South East High School plan was a student store, health office, food service, cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium, swimming pool, sports fields and administration offices. Highlights of the school's campus are its parent center, tennis courts, and spacious theater-style auditorium.

The lead architect was Sean Kingston, a firm located in the New York area, and is described by this statement below.

20.367 mq / 223,000 s.f. – Completed 2005. This state-of-the-art facility houses 223,000 square feet (20,700 m2) of program for 2,500 students. The overall campus design includes six buildings on a 30 acre site consisting of a comprehensive sports facility with stadium and gymnasium, a band and choral wing with outdoor amphitheater, an 800-seat theater style auditorium, a library, classrooms and labs. This project was designed by Steve Fierce.. [7] Website- http://southeast-lausd-ca.schoolloop.com/ 663

Incidents

On Friday, September 30, 2011, an 18-year-old male student had an altercation with a 17-year-old female student (reportedly his former girlfriend) during lunch time. The 18-year-old allegedly stabbed his former girlfriend, a female school dean, and another male student who tried to break up the fight. His former girlfriend died during surgery at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood. The 18 year old was booked and later charged with murder; the other two were treated for laceration injuries.

In 2008 the principal Jesus Angulo and assistant principal Maria Sotomayor were charged for not reporting a substitute teacher for sexually assaulting a minor when the victim had told them months prior, violating their duty to report child abuse.
