History

Cupertino High School opened on September 15, 1958, with a school population of 694, ninth and tenth graders and 28 staff members, with George Fernandez as principal. At its inception, Cupertino High originally contained four classroom buildings, a school office, and a cafeteria. Other buildings weren't fully complete at the time of its opening, leaving vacant lots at the back of the school as well as its sides. In 1971, Robert L. Gomez and a group of family started the Tournament of Bands: an annual event where high school marching bands come together and compete. In 2009, in an effort to go green, the school has built solar panels in the front staff parking lot. In 2010, most of the athletic fields were gradually demolished one by one. On January 3, 2014, the renovated school building opened to the public, connected to the original gym and theatre. It is made up of new bathrooms, a library, a new computer lab, and a new cafeteria. The main office was replaced along with the guidance and counseling offices. In 2017, Cupertino High opened two new buildings (6000-7000) that include new classrooms, lawns for hanging out, and a mini quad within the building's center. The building consists of 22 classrooms, a CTE lab and six modern science classrooms. In 2020, the school has locked down due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and transitioned into remote learning. 2020 spring semester grades were changed to the Pass / No Pass System. The 2021 - 2022 school year was remote learning with letter grades. The school reopened for the 2021 - 2022 school year. As of March 2022, the mask mandate has been removed in response to the California law. As of 2022, Kami Tomberlain is the current principal of Cupertino High School. The enrollment is currently 2112 students.Cupertino High School Profile (2021 - 2022)https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1633641789/fuhsdorg/lmfcjontqwro4ssrilss/CHS21-22SchoolProfile.pdf
