The school opened in 1927 as Lankershim High School, named for the wheat family whose subdivision became the town, with 800 students and a first graduating class in 1928. In 1981 it added a biological sciences magnet that does not meet on campus at all: those students ride a shuttle to classrooms on the grounds of the Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park and work alongside keepers. Only a handful of American high schools run a program inside a working zoo. The main campus still enrols about 2,500 students from North Hollywood, Valley Village, Studio City and Sun Valley.
