Hawthorne holds a special place in music and beach history as the official Home of The Beach Boys. From cruising Sepulveda Blvd to late afternoon surf sessions at 26th Street in Manhattan Beach, the Class of '77 lived the iconic SoCal dream!
"Oh, scarlet and gold, our colors unfold,
Their praises we'll sing, forever to ring..."
— Hawthorne High Alma Mater

Local Spots & History
Birthplace of The Beach Boys
Hawthorne is world-famous as the hometown of Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson. The local surf culture heavily influenced their classic music that defined California youth in the 60s and 70s.
26th Street in Manhattan Beach
The iconic beach hangout for Hawthorne High students! Whether catching waves, playing beach volleyball, or meeting up after class, 26th Street was the beating heart of our high school summers.
