Beverly Hills High School
The motto "Today well lived" seems to be all that is left of an inscription in the very first (1928) BHHS yearbook, The Watchtower.
The inscription read:
EACH TO-DAY WELL LIVED MAKES
EVERY YESTERDAY A DREAM OF
HAPPINESS AND EVERY TOMORROW
A VISION OF HOPE
It is part of a Sanskrit Proverb: "Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore to this day."
​
A long tradition informs the excellence of the Beverly Hills High School program. Construction of the campus began in December of 1926, when Beverly was still under the auspices of the Los Angeles Board of Education. Beverly left the Los Angeles High School District in 1935, and in 1936 became part of the Beverly Hills Unified School District.
​
The first two Beverly graduates celebrated commencement in June 1928. Shortly thereafter, additional buildings were added as BHHS continued to grow. One of the most unique buildings, the Swim Gym with its retractable floor, was constructed by the New Deal’s WPA in 1940. More contemporary additions to the campus proper were completed during the late 1960’s. In September 2007, Beverly celebrated the grand opening of the much anticipated multi-million dollar math/science technology center.
​
Growing in concert with the enlargement of the physical plant, the curricular program has expanded in breadth and depth to meet the ever evolving needs of our students. Throughout the years, Beverly continues to explore new directions and opportunities, continually striving for excellence.
