Huntington Beach (HB), Calif., otherwise known as “Surf City USA,” is a community with a massive surf culture that helps the city live up to its nickname. Downtown HB is often crowded with locals and tourists who have come to enjoy the beach and lively town. It's also frequented by the HBHS surf team, which was established in 1975, and has been giving students another way to earn their physical education credit ever since.

Many people find it completely nerve-racking to get up on stage in front of hundreds of people, while others may find it the most thrilling experience out there. For those who enjoy it, the Music, Media, Entertainment and Technology (MMET) program at the Huntington Beach Academy of Performing Arts (APA) could be the perfect fit. MMET students can take many different pathways, with the option to major in vocal performance, guitar, bass, keys, drums and more.

Huntington Beach High School’s (HBHS) marching band and colorguard team performed its 2025 California State Band Championships (CSBC) show at the So Cal Division Championships 4A on Nov. 22, 2025, at HBHS’s ‘Cap’ Sheue Field, earning 18th place. The show was an eight-minute long, 1950s-style murder mystery—a culmination of months of hard work. What appeared as a tight, polished routine on the field was the result of many late-night rehearsals and the story of the students who made it possible.
