Torrance High School and More
Torrance has many wonderful people of significance and significant institutions.
Like Torrance High School.
The school recently celebrated its centennial class. My friends son was in that 100 year celebration. And he recently paid tribute to the kids he used to coach over there.
“Torrance High School and Tartar Treasures
In my interview of Coach Greg Seamon he told me about the All Black Rugby team and how they created a legacy of excellence woven through time. They did it by story. My persuasion friends will like that lol
They brought in old timer players who would come in and talk about the culture, the traditions, the meaning of what it represents to be part of this team.
So I saw this clip today. And thought I would extend a little gift to my guys. My players who I taught about Tartar Treasures. This is what I called our moment before and/or after practice to share a story about our school. To build on our 100 years of culture.
Some form of a Louis Zamperrini story always seemed to prevail.lol
Even though Im out, I miss you guys and feel so sad that you could not attend Spring or Summer or Fall Ball. I feel bad for my guys at THS but also all the guys and gals who were committed to their sports and or clubs and or schools.
So I offer this little diddy to remind you how great THS is. And your city is.
By offering but just one reminder of perhaps Hollywoods favorite place to shoot a show. Torrance High School.
In this movie shot in ’99 you can see your practice fields, the old locker room, hallways and hangout spots with hearthrobs you mom probably oogled over. lol
They also had a girlfriend scene her house filmed just above RATs. The beach scene is not Torrance though. It looks like County line (Ventura/LA) And those rocks is where I proposed to my wife.
The girlfriend house at RATs is just a few doors down from a favorite son of Torrance, Dr Kenneth Wright. He is world known for his eye surgery techniques and saving babys eye site! He literally wrote the book that Universities use to teach his ways.
He also has ran for Congress. And was a great wrestler. He went to South but we will forgive him for that transgression. 😉
THS is awarded for being one of the best looking schools in the country. And of course many other shows have been shot in and around the school, down the street and around the city.
What are some other Torrance Treasures? You guy already know about the Buffy the Vampire house on Cota, and 90210? NWA and EZE recorded every album in a non descript studio right behind La Capilla in Old Torrance.There have been many other noteables to crusie through Torrance. As it turns out Quinton Tarantino grew up here. And you can tell his love for the South Bay’s architecture in his films.”
We truly do live in a wonderful town, and I love helping my clients live here!

Carol Gilles is the most amazing realtor we have ever met in our lifetime! She has been helping us buy and sell property for many years. Whether you’re looking for an investment, A forever home or just curious about the market Carol should be your first go to! Carol is a knowledgeable, intelligent, professional, caring, understanding and kind hearted! She will fight for you! We bought our Forever home when the market was extremely competitive and there were at least 12 offers per home. The market for homes by the beach are always very competitive, but at the time we were buying it was more competitive then usual! We got our home because she was quick, efficient and made it happen.
