San Leandro High School (SLHS) is a four-year public high school in San Leandro, California, USA.
Academics
Academic courses include Advanced Placement (AP) and Honors courses. Under the "school within a school" model, SLHS operates the Academy of Business & Finance (BA), San Leandro Academy for Multimedia (SLAM), and Social Justice Academy (SJA).[4]
Career Technical Education (CTE) courses include Auto Technology, Engineering & Design, Graphic Design, and Wood Shop.[5][6]
Facilities
The current San Leandro High School building opened in 1949.[7]
In 2007, land was purchased for a new building to house the freshman (9th grade) class in order to relieve overcrowding at SLHS. The freshman campus, which opened in 2010, is named the "Fred T. Korematsu (FTK) Campus" after civil rights activist Fred Korematsu, who had significant connections to San Leandro. The FTK campus is located at 13701 Bancroft Avenue, one block from the main campus. As of the 2017–2018 school year, the FTK campus houses the math and foreign language department for all grade levels, with some exceptions, and is no longer an exclusively freshman campus.
In 2011, with funding from the voter-approved Measure B school bond, the new Arts Education Center opened. The building contains a green screen room and control room, two sound booths, five classrooms, and a 552-seat performing arts theater.[8]
Fine arts
Visual arts classes offered at San Leandro High School include drawing, sculpture, and fashion design. The music program features marching band, jazz band, wind ensemble, freshmen band, freshmen orchestra, advanced orchestra, choir, and Notables. The drama department puts on theater and musical productions each fall and spring. The San Leandro Academy for Multimedia (SLAM) includes courses in photography, videography, and multimedia.
Athletics
Sports available at the school include football, cross-country, tennis, golf, volleyball, water polo, basketball, soccer, wrestling, track and field, swimming, badminton, baseball, and softball.
