Class of 1978. Went on to graduate from USC in Cinema Production. I had a very good experience at this school in academics, athletics and extra curriculars.

This school is nothing special. Some arrogant and bad teachers, focused on ranking, not on students - overrated.
parent
Excellent, my child felt welcomed from the beginning. For a child with a disability we found this to be better than the other high school in the district even though this is not our “home” high school. Glad we fought to be in this school.

Acalanes, class of 1951. Great faculty, administration, and support staff. I lettered in tennis and B basketball. after Acalanes I enrolled at Cal Berkeley. I could have been better prepared for university academics, but overall the experience was a good one. I took public speaking as part of the English requirement, which was a very practical way to study English, but the highbrow English at UC left me cold, and I had trouble coping. I have a 5-year-old granddaughter living in the Acalanes District who I hope to see enter Acalanes in 2021 or hereabouts - if I live that long. I may be partial, since my father was the district superintendent.
