History

Central Los Angeles New High School No. 1 was planned to help relieve overcrowding at Hollywood and Marshall high schools.[2] It opened in the fall of 2008.

Campus

Bernstein occupies the former site of the Fox Television Center (formerly Metromedia Square, the longtime home of Fox Television station KTTV). Perkins+Will architects designed the buildings.[3]

Curriculum

Bernstein High is divided into three smaller learning communities: Arts, Media, and Entertainment (AME); Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine (STEM); and Business, Technology, and Labor Relations (BTLR). The Academic Performance Excellence (APEX) Academy, a program geared toward at-risk youths, also operates independently within the school.[4]

Athletics

The campus is home to the Dragons. Bernstein is home to sports like football, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, swimming, softball, cross country, drill team, and basketball.
