Lynbrook High School
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place.
Lynbrook High School is a co-educational, public four-year secondary school located in the West San Jose neighborhood of San Jose, California, USA. It was founded in 1965, graduating its first class in 1968. It was once ranked among the top five public comprehensive secondary schools in California. Lynbrook belongs to the Fremont Union High School District. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Lynbrook High School opened on September 13, 1965, with an enrollment of 1,025 students. Because Cupertino High School had grown very large by that time, a new school in the western San Jose area was constructed. The District Board nominated Kendall Stanger as the first principal of the school. The Lynbrook administration includes Principal Mike White, assistant to Principal Jan Broman, assistant principals Rich Amlin, Kathleen Sullivan, and Andy Walczak.
The school was technologically advanced around the time it was built and had closed-circuit television and air conditioning. During the first year, there was no gymnasium, locker room, or swimming pool. A minimum of 220 semester units are required for graduation from Lynbrook High School. 10 units equal one year of work for each period.
In order to graduate, students must also pass the Cahsee, which can be taken during the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. Lynbrook's electives include 3D Design, Art, Architecture, Business, Choir, Computer-Aided Drafting, Computer Science Electronics, French, Japanese, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Spanish. Physical education is a required course for freshmen, and one additional year is also needed.
Lynbrook has a solid academic reputation. Lynbrook's main rival is Monta Vista High School, but also occasionally includes Cupertino High School and Mission San Jose High School. Its tennis, water polo, badminton, and track teams are excellent. Lynbrook's freshman cross country team is currently one of the fastest frosh teams in the region. Lynbrook’s mission is to promote a professional learning environment that educates and empowers students to initiate, advance or change their careers and engage in life-long learning.
