Located in the Loma Portal neighborhood of Point Loma, Dana served as a junior-senior high school until it closed in 1983 due to declining enrollment. The school reopened in 1998 as a middle school due in large part to a strong community lobby effort. Originally built in 1942, the school’s masonry construction is ideal for its sound abatement quality that reduces the noise of departing aircraft from Lindbergh Field. Four of the five permanent buildings were built in the 1940s, and the fifth, a multipurpose building, was completed in 2003. The campus includes a softball field and a shared use baseball field; the latter is the practice and home field of Point Loma High School’s baseball team. The field is named after Point Loma alum and former Major League Baseball pitcher David Wells. Wells is currently PLHS’ head baseball coach.
