What It's Like to Drive Around Orange High School
Orange High sits a few blocks north of the historic Plaza in Old Towne Orange, where Glassell and Chapman meet at the famous traffic circle ringed by Chapman University. Right at campus, Shaffer Street is quiet and residential, perfect for first laps. From there we ease onto Chapman Avenue and Tustin Street — older, tighter grid streets with angled parking, frequent crosswalks, and pedestrians from the antique district. Drivers here learn patience and precise lane placement on narrow historic blocks before we open things up on the wider Katella Avenue arterial.
