Arroyo Grande High School (AGHS) is an American public high school located in Arroyo Grande, California. It serves grades 9–12 as part of the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD).

Campus

The majority of classrooms are arranged in rows, starting with the 100s wing at the front of the school, and the 800 wing at the back of the school. The athletic fields bisect the school. The eastern portion of the school contains the 900 wing, or "Orchard" as it is called due to its proximity to Orchard Avenue. The 100 wing is primarily school administration. The 200s and 300s are mostly for social sciences and humanities. The 400s and 500s are where most language courses are taught. 600s and 700s are where the technical and scientific courses are held. The 800 wing contains the Inquiry Center, school farm, and other industrial, technology, occupational skills courses and additional science classes. The 900s are home to mathematics, business, foreign language and arts courses.

The Inquiry Center is the school's library, which also accommodates a variety of electronic data acquisition tools, including remote access data retrieval, CD-ROM compact disks, and a multiple user computer network.

=2005–2008 renovation project=

In 2004, local voters passed a school bond, Measure A-04. Its objective was "to repair, upgrade, equip and construct school facilities at Arroyo Grande High School, including the school library and restrooms, upgrade electrical wiring to accommodate technology, install energy efficient heating/ventilation systems, classrooms, cafeterias, plumbing, qualify for State matching funds, reduce overcrowding, by issuing $21,350,000 of bonds at legal interest rates, appoint a Citizens' Oversight Committee and perform annual audits to ensure that no bond money is wasted or used for administrator's salaries".{{Cite web|url=http://www.csus.edu/isr/includes/ISR%20website/CEDA%20Files/CEDA%202004/School%20District%20Report%202004%20E.pdf|title=2004 School District Offices and Ballot Measures|year=2004|access-date=December 30, 2006}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}

The Citizen's Oversight Committee oversaw the project. The first phase, in 2005, involved renovation of restrooms and drainage systems, and extensive renovation of the 500 wing of classrooms. In 2006, the other classroom wings on the Valley Road side of campus were renovated, and a new swimming pool was completed on the old tennis court site. The third phase included a new administration and student support center, and a new multi-purpose room with food services. The old administration building was demolished, with the administrative staff temporarily relocated to a building across from the library. The final phase involved new tennis courts, a food court, and a parking area located in a section of campus previously used by the maintenance department and some old classrooms that were removed. The construction was completed in September 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.luciamar.k12.ca.us/education/components/docmgr/download.php?sectiondetailid=5582&fileitem=14027&catfilter=220|title=Principal's Message|last=Pinkerton|first=Ryan|date=October 13, 2008|work=AGHS Eagle Communicant (newsletter)|publisher=Arroyo Grande High School|access-date=April 18, 2009}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}
