History

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The school was founded on January 13, 1906,[3] with six students in a pitched tent on Sanitarium Hill, Loma Linda.[4] It was previously named Loma Linda Union Academy.[5] In 1921, as the school continued to grow, LLA had its first graduated class. In the 1930s, a building, now known as Franz Hall, was constructed in an effort to continue as a thriving school.[4]

Forty-two years later after the school was founded, the main building of the school was burned down in a fire, resulting in multiple records and documents being lost.[6]

In 1969, San Timoteo Creek, which forms the northern boundary of the school's property,[7] flooded the entire school and parts of the city, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the school.[8][9][10]

There is also a Class I path planned for the banks of San Timoteo Creek.[12]
