Pierce School of Agriculture in September 1947, with 70 students and 18 faculty members. The school's initial focus was crop cultivation and animal husbandry, and still retains a large swatch of open fields for hands-on working farm training. In 1956 the school was renamed Los Angeles Pierce College, retaining the name of its founder, Dr. Pierce. Notable alumni include: actors, Melanie Griffith and Mark Harmon, and baseball players Barry Zito and Doug DeCinces, to name but a few. The school's mascot is a Brahma Bull named "Clarence the Bull".
