History
The campus was built in 1962, making it the third-oldest school in the district. William C. Overfelt High School has modernized sections of the campus and the landscaping, with the assistance of Measure A Funds. Measure G funds will provide modernization of all classroom areas
In 2006, the school established the first AP European History class by Mr. Douglas Day.In 2007, the first AP Art History class taught by Ms. Daphne Miller was established. In 2008, AP Psychology was restarted by the class of 2009 and taught by Mr. Douglas Day. By the end of 2007, part of the school- what the kids called the "B Wing"- was torn down in order to construct new C100 classrooms, as well as at the side of the school where new C200 classrooms were constructed for mainly incoming freshmen.
The school has an outstanding Wrestling team (a past State Champion), Men's Soccer team, and other sports teams. The Women's Tennis team has placed first in their league. The Women's tennis team advanced to the Santa Theresa Division "A leagues" in 2008 and dominated that season- placing second in their league. By the summer of 2008, the tennis courts were resurfaced and the ladies continued to play their best. Competing against tough oppenents, they placed fourth in the A leagues in 2009. Their Women's Varsity Cross Country team also had a good season by making it to CCS by placing 11th in the league finals. They ran at Toro Park and placed 12th at CCS.
