University Senior High School, commonly known as Uni, is a secondary school located in West Los Angeles, a district in Los Angeles, California, United States near the border of Santa Monica. University High is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The campus also holds Indian Springs Continuation High School. The school contains the Serra Springs, a sacred site of the Tongva–Gabrieleño people and a registered California Historical Landmark.
While under construction it was known as Sawtelle High School, but it opened as Warren G. Harding High School when built in 1924, after U.S. President Warren G. Harding, who had recently died. The school was renamed in 1929 after UCLA moved its campus from East Hollywood to Westwood, and the reputation of former President Harding had declined after the Teapot Dome scandal. The name University is supposed to have originated because it became a site where teachers-in-training from nearby UCLA worked as assistant teachers.
