The Homecoming game of 2006 was the first ever game in the history of Concord High to be played on Concord's own field under its own lights.
- Over the summer of 2006, many improvements were made to the Concord High Gymnasium, including new flooring with artwork and new lighting.
- Concord received brand new tennis courts as a result of a $500,000 project funded by Measure A and Proposition 55. They are currently in use.
- Baseball field improvements, including scoreboard, fencing, wind screen, and many more improvements are being planned.

Along with that, the CHS Academy apparently teaches their students the improper way to spell arranged, virtually unreadable sentence structure, and terrible grammar.

The gate that opens onto Mendocino Road is open all day and guarded by an attendant.
