The campus was built in the 1930s and 1940s. After years of development and construction, BGHS's new three story building was opened on December 18, 2005.
In 2005, the high school underwent a further phase of renovation when the school's athletic field, otherwise known as "Lancer Stadium", received a $1 million dollar upgrade. The gradually decaying long-standing natural dirt/grass field was replaced with a state of the art synthetic turf playing field along with a new 440 yard track surrounding it. The process commenced during the latter half of the 2004–2005 school year and was gradually completed the following spring in January 2006.
The school had 3626 students as of the 2004–2005 school year, consisting of:[1]
80% of Bell Gardens students were eligible for free or reduced lunch.
The boys soccer program has won 3 C.I.F. titles in 1984, 1991, and 1994.
