Miramonte High School is a high school which is part of Acalanes Union High School District. It has a strong college preparatory program, with 14 Advanced Placement courses currently offered. 98 percent of its graduates go to college. Miramonte High School participates in the Virtual High School Consortium, a response to the problems of distance education which allows courses to be taught over the Internet. The high school students can participate in these virtual classes from on-site Internet access, or from a home connection. No core classes are currently being provided as virtual classes. Miramonte High School and the violent 1984 murder of cheerleader Kirsten Costas by less popular classmate Bernadette Protti were the basis for the TV movie A Friend to Die For starring Tori Spelling. Another infamous former Miramonte student is Alex Fagan, Jr., the off-duty San Francisco police officer at the center of the Fajitagate scandal. Miramonte High School is also known for producing several Olympians, two current NFL players Drew Bennett and Ken Dorsey and Raiders' Cheerleader Janelle Kitiyama.
