History
Also known as Redlands Union High School or Redlands Senior High School, RHS was originally built in 1891 as a "unified high school", formed from elementary districts of Redlands, Crafton and Lugonia.[3] Its Clock auditorium was completed in 1928. The Girls' Gymnasium was completed as a New Deal Era project by the Public Works Administration in 1936.[4]
Located on 65 acres, the campus is divided by a major thoroughfare into South Campus (the original site) and North Campus.[3]
