Hawthorne High School is a public high school located in Hawthorne, California, within the Centinela Valley Union High School District. It opened in the mid 1950s and is most notable for its association with The Beach Boys, whose original members Brian, Carl, Dennis Wilson, and Al Jardine attended the school. The song Barbara Ann was written using the name of a Physical Education teacher there. Coincidentally, Olivia Trinidad Arias, who later became Olivia Harrison (George Harrison’s wife), also attended and graduated in 1965.
Hawthorne High School is a cross-town rival with Leuzinger High School.
