Hundreds celebrate 25th year of school for gifted

The Huntington Beach private elementary Pegasus School celebrated 25 years in education this weekend, holding a family picnic.

Roughly 300 guests came to the event to celebrate the growth of the school, according to organizers.

The school gives bright and gifted students a place to grow, school officials said. Since its founding in 1983, the Pegasus school has grown from two classrooms and 40 students to 565 students, who learn on a 14-acre campus owned by the school, according to officials.

The Pegasus School is at 19692 Lexington Lane.
