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 Tom Gettys. I wrote "Tom Getty" on my post to Patti Daughtery, which I will quickly edit. No relation to the Getty Fortune, I suppose. I love that you updated your "then and now" photos! The Reunion Committee tried really hard to reach as many classmates as possible, but you're right, everything about our aging communication methods is becoming obsolete right before our eyes! If you check the homepage for this site you'll see the announcement for the EHS All Class Picnic on Saturday, May 2, 2026!!!! Now you're officially invited. Can you play the Alma Mater on your recorder? We still have the lyrics, you know. Sincerely, Peggy Test.

Hi Tom. When I noticed today was the "Real Columbus Day," I remembered you and Patti Daugherty share the same birth day. Well then, Happy Birthday! I hope the music is still the best soundtrack of your life. Best wishes for many more.

Hi Phyllis and a Happy Autumn October Birthday! I get FB posts from the Fairhope Sweet Shop from my nephew and his wife. "Hope your Birthday was just as Sweet!" I'm actually groaning while typing this. Have fun!

Happy Birthday, Earline! It was so nice to see you at the 60th Reunion and we even have a photo of us in a group. I realized a little later we didn't have much of a conversation, but it felt like we did just by being there with the whole group. Best Wishes in the New School Year--retired teachers are on the same seasonal schedule, but without going back! Halloween, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving rollin' right up. Don't even want to mention anything else! Enjoy them all.

Sue! You're so good at posting "Happy Birthday!" wishes, and now it's almost Labor Day instead of the real day--August 25th. I'm fortunate to have gotten to know you through this site and a couple of reunions; I decided to follow you and a few others' lead in connecting with classmates from another Century! Remember how important it was to "look good" in those awkward high school days? And now everybody seems to first say "You look great!" when we meet up in person. The very idea makes me feel "Young at Heart" at least. Enjoy your home and grandchildren and so many of your other blessings with all your heart. Peggy

Hi Pat. I'm catching up on birthdays, so Happy End of August Birthday to you! I hope your "Family Event" was fabulous. I didn't realize Vancouver, WA, is right on the Hood River. You live in a Destiny City and close to the Big City Portland. That's a Cool Location and your birthday month must have some gorgeous days. Hope I'll see you next May 2nd for the EHS All Class Picnic in West Covina, back in "the Hood!"

Happy Birthday, Rick! Through FB conversations it looks like your profile here concerning "children" needs updating. We've spoken about your family's fascinating roots and I continue to admire your "patriarchy." (I like that concept!) Best wishes as you continue your lofty role as "Leader of the Pack." Vroom!
