My youngest son graduated in a CLASS of 850 (total of the four classes was near 4000).
The physical plant of the school is one of the best in the SF Bay Area - I have had visiting parents from out of area schools comment that the school looks more like a JC than a HS.
The available activities are probably nearly what Gracie mentioned at her local school.
The Band and Color Guard, 300 strong with 100 parent chaperons, participated in the New York Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1999. The 400 stayed in New York for two weeks and did all the tourist things. Total cost was nearly $250K raised thru car washes, concerts, etc (and our city is basically a blue collar kinda place). They were in the 2003 Rose Bowl Parade, in 2005 the Edinburgh Scotland Easter Festival and this year they are going to the Olympics in China!
The Forensics Speech and Debate team is 5 times California State Champions and currently National Champions for the past three years.
