Mohs receives honor

A process that took a little over three years to complete finally

reached its climax last week when the Huntington Beach Union High School

District came up with a unanimous vote to rename the Edison High

gymnasium in honor of former athletic director Dave Mohs.

Don Leavey, a retired teacher at Edison and who helped spearhead

the drive to have the gymnasium re-dedicated in Mohs’ honor, said the

district voted in favor of the measure by a 5-0 count.

‘It’s a great honor for Dave, and the dedication is scheduled to

take place sometime in late January of 2000,’ Leavey said.

Mohs died of cancer in 1996.
