Castro Valley High School is a public high school in Castro Valley, California, U.S.
The school is on the small side compared to other schools in the area.
Construction: The school's biggest project for the 2006-2007 school year is a new stadium for the football, soccer, and track teams and a new auxiliary gymnasium that will include a new weight room and wrestling room. The former stadium was aging and was torn down. The new gymnasium is being built to fit larger PE classes and to hold practices for volleyball, basketball, and wrestling. In addition to the construction, the practice fields used for football, soccer, and cross country practices, as well as PE classes, are all being renovated due to the large number of injuries caused by potholes and uneven terrain. The football stadium and gymnasium are expected to be completed in time for the 2007 season.
The school will be undertaking a $900,000 library renovation project to bring the library up to date and state standards. The new media center will include a new computer lab, book-room, redesigned floor-space and auxiliary office space.
Overcrowding: The school has experienced overcrowding in recent years due to a large in enrollment in the district. The school has dealt with the increased population by building several new buildings and renovating others. A second gym and new sports stadium are also being constructed. As the population in the district begins to even out, Castro Valley High School will be well situated to serve the population of the relatively small town it serves.
Notable alumni: Cliff Burton, bassist for Metallica.
Rachel Maddow, radio host.
Luenell, actress in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
Val Diamond, lead in Beach Blanket Babylon.
