About La Quinta High School
 La Quinta High School opened its doors in 1963 and now enters its 50th school year. “La Quinta”, which means fifth in Spanish, acquired its name as the fifth high school built in the Garden Grove Unified School District and as an acknowledgement of the Hispanic heritage of this area. La Quinta is well known for its award-winning Title 1 program, nationally recognized baseball team, magnet business program, renowned music program, and outstanding student achievement and attendance.
