California High School (commonly referred to as Cal High) is located in San Ramon, California. It is a public school and currently (as of 2006) has about 2,400 students. Its mascot is a Grizzly Bear. The school's newspaper is The Californian. California High School's mission statement is:

“

The mission of California High School is to develop student potential, self-worth, and responsibility. To achieve this mission, the staff promotes a positive environment and a diverse educational program of excellence, which includes academics, arts vocational education, extracurricular activities, and life skills.

”

Cal High's primary sports rival are the Monte Vista Mustangs. Another major rival is San Ramon Valley High School. Both of these rival schools are located in the nearby town of Danville. Class competitions like the annual homecoming parade and lip sync performance are popular among students. California High School is also home to a renowned Model United Nations program headed by Mr. Douglas Devries of the Social Studies Department. Recently, the Club took home the Best Club award from the Berkeley Model United Nations Conference and it remains one of the few areas where Cal High has leverage over its district rivals, Monte Vista High School and San Ramon Valley High School.

Construction is going on to add a new library and classrooms.
