Architecture
The school was designed in an expressionist modern style by Morphosis, led by architect Thom Mayne. It is situated on a steep hillside on land previously considered unusable. The school's unique architectural design was recognized in the book Morphosis/Diamond Ranch High School.
Because of its modernist architecture, size and location in California, the school has appeared in movies such as The Cell, Orange County, Serenity, and Live Free or Die Hard; it has also appeared in several television commercials—including one for Buick.
Name
The name was derived from its geographical location at the junction between the City of Diamond Bar and Phillips Ranch, in Pomona, California. The school is also near to the city of Chino Hills, California.
