School Notes:
  • Anaheim High School is a public, four-year (grades 9 through 12) high school in the city of Anaheim, California, United States. Anaheim High School was first established in 1898, which makes it the oldest of nine comprehensive high schools in the Anaheim Union High School District. It is the third oldest high school in Orange County, behind Santa Ana High School (1889) and Fullerton High School (1893)
  • Students
  • In the 2004-2005 school year, Anaheim High School had a total enrollment of students. The class breakdown was 34 freshmen, 34 sophomore, 45 juniors, and 45 seniors. The ethnic distribution was: 93.1% Hispanic, 5.5% White, 2.2% Asian, and less than 3% for African-American, Filipino, Pacific Islander, and American Indian
  • Faculty
  • There is a total of 110 teachers, which results in a 24.9 student-teacher ratio.
  • Mission Statement
  • The mission of Anaheim High School, in preparing students to participate in a changing, global society, is to promote student excellence through self-discipline, self-esteem, and academic achievement. Our students will exhibit these qualities in the classroom, in co-curricular activities, and in our community.
  • Athletics
  • Anaheim's athletics teams are called the Colonists, and historically, were one of the most successful programs in Orange County.
  • The 1956 Anaheim football team was CIF co-champions with Downey, playing to a 13-13 tie at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That game had an attendance of 41,383 fans, which remains the largest crowd in Southern Section history. Anaheim also won football championships in 1940 and 1967, and was runner-up in 1941, 1962, 1966 and 1987.
  • Changing school administration and demographics led to a downturn in the 1990s and early 2000s. During this time the athletics department struggled to keep up with the competition and could barely afford to keep equipment working properly and pay for uniforms for the schools' teams. But a renewed sense of spirit and a winning tradition is in evidence, most significantly in 2006, when the Colonist football team had a remarkable 12-2 regular season, finishing as runner-up in the CIF-SS Southern Division.
  • In other sports the Anaheim Tennis team composed of students of the class "2007" accomplished qualifying for the first time to CIF since the mis 80's.Cross country, soccer, and baseball teams have also been historically competitive. In 2007-2008, an individual went to state for cross country. Currently, their teams compete in the Orange League of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section.
  • Alma Mater
  • Anaheim, thy sons and daughters,who take to life's great ways,Shall join in loyal chorusAnd recall these happy days.We will always love and cherish,with affection deep and true.The colors of our high school,The grand old Gold and Blue.
  • We recall the deeds of valorOn football fields and track.Though fate may stand against us,We shall rally strongly back.Time may break our hearts and fortunes,But not our love for you;With a firm and true devotionWe will fight for old A.U.
