El Cerrito High School is a public school in the West Contra Costa Unified School District. It is located at 540 Ashbury Avenue, El Cerrito, California 94530.
Home to a distinguished music and theater program, El Cerrito High has also produced its share of professional athletes. MLBers Pumpsie Green, Chris Roberson, and Les Cain graduated from El Cerrito High. NBA player Drew Gooden; NFLers, Cornell Green of the Dallas Cowboys 60's and 70's teams, Jamir Miller and Lamont Thompson. Track and field Olympian Roddy Lee competed for the Republic of China, and current Junior Olympic Team brothers Kyle and Kyson Bunthuwong are hoping to compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. John Fogerty and members of his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, all attended El Cerrito High School in the early 1960s.
Aside from its famous athletes and outstanding music and theater programs, El Cerrito High School once had cutting edge programs in English and Social Science. The conceptual approach to U.S. History called American Experience, as well as electives in International Relations and Psychology were impacted by recent efforts to align curriculum. Most English electives were eliminated as well. The school still continues to attract innovative educators and a diverse, committed student population despite severe budget cuts and too much emphasis on standardized test scores.
