Huntington Park Baptist Elementary School

I went to school here for 3^rd through 8^th grade. It was a very small school with two grade levels often combined in one classroom.
The education was alright and it included a Baptist/​Christian curriculum since it was obviously a Baptist School. It was connected to the large Baptist Church across the street and I attended Sunday School here as well. There were so many cool hiding places in that big church across the street.
HPBS used to have a school corporal punishment system and I remember my best friend getting paddled after school and living to tell about it.
SInce this place closed, it has been reopened as a Charter School and I hope it stays open because it’s a great place for the local community to utilize.
It’s gone through some refurbishment and the blacktops have been repaved but the lunch tables in the back by Rita still bring back a lot of memories.
