Edgewood High School combined with West Covina High School in 1988, mostly for financial reasons. The new West Covina High STUDENTS voted on and chose the colors Maroon and Gold and the Bulldog as mascot. Faculty and some staff moved from Edgewood into positions at the West Covina campus. Trojan Green and Gold and Spartan Blue and White and the Alma Maters of each were "retired" to form a new school, but with the name still West Covina High School. A shock and trauma for many for many years, but today's school spirit and faculty and staff and students continue to be excellent representatives for the city of West Covina. The Edgewood High School campus was converted to a 6th--8th grade middle school in 1988, and remains so, however, now part of the campus is a new high school and is called Edgewood High, but the colors and mascot are different than ours were.

School Story

I have been fortunate to graduate from Edgewood High School with the class of 1965 as a Trojan; to join the faculty of West Covina High School in 1972 as a Spartan; and to continue teaching there until 2013 as a Bulldog. I live in the Pasadena area, but I love to follow WCHS football and visit friends still teaching at either campus. Several faculty members from Edgewood became my colleagues at West Covina, which made it extra special for me. I always felt at home!

Hi Linda, and Happy Birthday for 2024! I hope you can attend this year's EHS All Classes Picnic coming up on Saturday, July 20th. There's information posted on this site and it's been fun getting to see classmates again or getting to know someone from way back then. Many WCUSD people are EHS grads, too!

Hi Karen! Happy Birthday and a Happy New Year in 2024! I've attended some of the EHS All Class Reunion Picnics and "met" or got reacquainted with former '65 classmates. It was so nice seeing you again at our 50th! Hope you still head out to California sometimes and we get a chance to get together again. Love, Peggy

Hey John and Peggy! I know you guys like traveling to fun places; will we see you at the EHS Alumni Picnic on July 16th? BYOB, AC in the large indoor room, and clean WC's in the same building appealed to me. Hope you can attend.

Hi Marianne! I never made it up the mountain this year, but I hope you can "descend" to the Hurst Ranch / EHS level. I had a lot of fun attending at this venue last summer. See you there?

Jul 06, 2022 at 1:20 PM

Hey Linda! I'm sure you know a lot of EHS Alumni and you may still live in the area. I had a lot of fun attending for the 1st time last year, which was at the Hurst Ranch venue. Hope you'll consider going on July 16th, and invite some other locals, too, if you can!

Hey, Eddie. Will we see you at the EHS Alumni Picnic July 16th? I don't know who else is local, but any encouragement to attend would be great.

The EHS Alumni Website posted a schedule for Class Photos at the Picnic. We're at the beginning of the list!

Reunion Committee: Thanks for your reminder about the EHS All Classes Picnic on 7/16/2022. Dr. Louis Sergio always attends, usually in the mid-morning or so, and is kind enough to speak with ANY of his many students or acquaintances. Hoping he is still in excellent health and will be at this one, too. Hurst Ranch is easy to find--it's right across the street from the EHS running track and the (former) student parking lot. Anyone still have the car you drove in HS years? Pete Ashlock? Plan to go if you can, and proudly represent the c/o 1965! (You can message me here if you have any questions since I still live in the area.)
