Class of 96, in 4 years we burried 24 friends, we looked around like it was a lottery and wondered who was next, we were tough but still had pride and manors. The big gate went up summer of 96, the punks in the office didn't dare try to put it up while we were around cuz as a school we would have torn it down. To those still there, its your town, your school, take pride and protect it. Not all of us get to say we survived phs and wish there was a memorial for all who didn't.
wow the im a freshman and it looks nothing alike like the wall you were filming with all the pictures its a mural no and the falcon looks way different. this campus was actually nice looking
im a sophmore right now and.......wow as u might already know from the other comments it has changed!!!!!!!!but still gotta love it right?? i wonder wat its going to look like in another 20 years???? well gottta go do that chemstry hw >=( lol
cls o 2012.............hopefully not the end of the world.........or that'll suck
now they have solar pannels, bars and fences, alot more green and dirty >.< less trees and benches and i think that in the 80s they didnt have the 500s classrooms near the p.e area. alot has changed unfortunately, but its still a great school
theres fencing drumline band orchestra choir art ROTC (military marine etc;) medical academy and classes where they teach you mechanics and welding etc; it would be fun to have alot of those classes
I'm from the class of 1966. Still have friends and family in Palmdale, and yes it has changed. What we remember fondly as a starting point of adult hood has become a place where students survive and escape. Something I've noticed, there aren't as many churches, and I'd guess there are no bible studies going on before school anywhere near by the school, not in this day and age.
I went to Palmdale High 95-99. I loved it there. Mr Mc Cullough was our choir teacher. I think he's still there. I believe it was 1997-98 school year when he and the band director, Mr. Hixon, started the orchestra.
This is funny 1987 was one year short of when I moved into Palmdale in a new home there. That school was nothing but trouble for me there not only did I have to deal with racist little white kids but also the wanna be ganstas that were already there. We left a mark on that school and I eventually left to finish my Diploma at Quartz hill High were Racism was low and attendance was high. Palmdale to me was the dumping ground for the valley
Not too much different... when I graduated in 2006 the whole parking lot was fenced in. New signs and the Library has different murals on it now (actually I think thier different now from when I graduated haha).
im going to make a video for u of the school and the other place i was talking about this video with my girlfreind and we desided to make one for u i know i would want to see the shcool about 20 years from now so ill make this vid for u so ill try to have it up by next week or weekend
I went to Palmdale high from 1975 to 1979 and left in 1989 now I live in Seattle wa. It looked like this when I left I had alot of good times now I hear there having a reunion of the class of 1979 I guess Ill go back yours truley Danny G
I graduated at phs in 1997, moved to palmdale in 1986. Its just not the same anymore, as a kid growing up it was a good place to live, now its just ghetto. Unfortunately things just aren't the same!
I graduated from Palmdale High in 1988. This sure brings back some memories! It looks just like I remember it. Would love to see any other video or pictures you might have.
I'm over 40 and lived in Palmdale til I was in my late twentys. It used to be just a small decent town. Then came the L.A. low income scum when the housing market dropped. Now it's full of all kinds of foul ass dirt bags. People try to get away from the ghetto but they are the ghetto so they bring it with them. Moved away from that shithole. It's in fested by section 8 parasites and boarder jumpers
carbonsnail@juggernautbfd : lol. Class of 82. I moved away in 82 for college and military. I live up here in Northern Ca now. I have to say that I find it very funny that as a black person who grew up there the same time you did. I often find us using the same words to describe people from down below. Parasites, subhuman,vermin lol. Do ever notice this about us. People here describe me a Nazified and im like wtf? Isn't it a trip how we were all brought up? "Down below" Troglodytes and shit...
I went to palmdale high my fresman year it as about 1991 and I went to Littlerock high part of my freshman year and my sophmore and junior years and played football at LHS I graduated in 1995 last time I was at palmdale it looked pretty bad this is how I remember it.I grew up in palmdale I even went to Quartz hill high part of my junior year in High school.last I heard palmdale high got pretty bad and the crime in the area was worse since I lived there I haven't been to palmdale in 10 to 11yrs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Now in 2007, PHS is... kinda ghetto. There are WAY too many people, but then again there are WAY too many people in ALL the schools. The kids are WAY too diferent, and dumber, and more immature, the teacher SUCK, the only thing that really makes me like the school is the choir, since i'm in it ^_^
Oh, you're in the choir? Who's the teacher now because when I was there, it was Mr. Yale but like I said, it's almost been 20 years and I know he's long gone. It's funny that you said that because that was the only class that I had that was worth anything. The Teachers always did suck and it was always over populated. That's too bad though but hang in there!
WOW this place looks tight now it looks crappy I know because I go to school their now and I'm a graduate the year of 2009. like many others before me said it is what they said except the F.A.D. part because i hate F.A.D. but they do have a better band the F.P.C.(falcon pageantry corps)
Yea, I went to Palmdale High School Back then and it was just starting to get pretty bad. When ever i'm in the area, i'll drive by and look at my old school, but it's heart breaking to see what it has become. Hopefully with more highschools in that area now, the classrooms are smaller. When I was a student some of my classes were 50 deep. That's too much!!!!
There are now gates around the parking lot... murals infront of the library are gone... just a falcon logo last i checked (I was calss of 02)... Its become a lot more populated in the AV. Times Change and Society changes!
It looks more or less the same except now it is much dirtier and there are huge black gates with spikes on top around the whole perimeter. Basically like a prison.
carbonsnail@rmullen: There were lot us blacks who went to school at PHS back than. I just think that the biggest difference was that we were not thugs or drug addicts. I hear that there is a sheriffs substation on the campus now. Is it true? Trip I bet that half the blacks on campus back than were Scoots at one time in there life, I was 2 badges short of Eagle. Lol
