Lawndale High

Lawndale High is a fictional location that featured regularly in MTV's animated series Daria.

The high school, located in the fictional town of Lawndale, was the learning/teaching place for most of the show's primary characters, and the setting of many stories. Not much information was ever given in the series about the history or educational program of the school, but it is certain that the subjects English, History, Art, Science, Physical Education, and Economics were taught there, as well as a special self-esteem class for sufferers of a lack thereof.
