Tamalpais
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. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Tamalpais High School is a public secondary school located in Mill Valley, California. It is named after nearby Mount Tamalpais. Tamalpais High School was founded in 1908 by Mr. E. E. Wood. Chris Holleran is the Principal of Tamalpais High School. Tamalpais High School is a part of the Tamalpais Union High School District. The school serves the cities of Mill Valley and Sausalito, the nearby unincorporated areas of Marin City, Strawberry and Tamalpais-Homestead Valley and the West Marin communities of Muir Beach, Bolinas and Stinson Beach.
The old mascot was named after the local Native American tribe the Miwoks. Their sports teams were identified only as Tam for the fall and winter seasons of that school year. The Tam Boys' Basketball team won the State Championship in the winter of 2000. The Tam Mens' Soccer team won the North Coast Section Championship in the fall of 2001. Tamalpais was a recipient of the California Distinguished School Award in 1999 and 2005. The school's newspaper, the Tamalpais News, has won awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the National Scholastic Press Association.
