John Muir High School
One of the three major high schools in NW Pasadena and a local landmark. It opened on March 10, 1923, as the Pasadena Vocational School. Over the decades following numerous notable residents have come through this school including celebrated author Octavia Butler, world renown opera singer, Pauletta deVaughn-Mayhofer; Jackie Robinson and so many more.
“I have found memories of attending John Muir High school and
being in the band. Every morning we marched up and down
Casitas (behind Muir) with our wonderful drum corp. The drums
echoed loudly across the San Gabriel mountains and the
community embraced it all. There was lots of school spirit back
then. I had no Idea we were being bussed for integration
purposes. Everybody got along .” - Joyce Miles
