Dude Anguius served as Los Altos High School principal from 1965 to 1975.
A respected and beloved coach, teacher and principal, Dushan “Dude” Angius Jr. left a legacy at Los Altos High School. However, there are few signs of that legacy on campus – though that’s about to change.
A steering committee comprising Angius’ biggest fans successfully lobbied the Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District Board of Trustees to name the Los Altos High gymnasium after him. The five-member board unanimously approved the move at its Jan. 28 meeting. An official dedication is scheduled May 3.
