Castlemont Community of Small Schools
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castlemont Community of Small Schools is a community of three small schools in Oakland, California, created by splitting up Castlemont High School. The schools are:
- Castlemont Leadership Preparatory School
- Castlemont Business and Information Technology School
- East Oakland School of the Arts
Castlemont High School was founded in 1929 in a medieval-style building. The architecture inspires many of the school traditions, such as the sports teams being named "Knights" and "Crusaders" and the school newspaper "Ye Castle Crier". The motto is "Build on and make thy castles high and fair, rising upward to the skies."
Castlemont Community of Small Schools forms part of the Oakland Unified School District.
