Rap legend Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Iovine are teaming up with Los Angeles Unified to open a new magnet high school focused on design, business and technology, with the goal of giving historically underserved students an opportunity to become the next generation of leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs.

Opening in fall 2022 on the campus of Audubon Middle School in South L.A., the magnet school aims to provide students with hands-on learning opportunities by having them tackle real-world projects with companies and nonprofits while preparing them for the rigors of college.

“Our main goal is to get kids excited about learning, to want to go to school not just because someone told them they need to,” Iovine said on Monday, June 14, during a news conference on the Audubon campus to announce the partnership.
