Saratoga High SchoolSaratoga High School is a high school in Saratoga, California (Silicon Valley), USA, part of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District. Student enrollment averages around 1300. 98% of graduates go on to college or technical school. 18% of the class of 2003 were semifinalists or commended students in the National Merit Scholarship Program. In 2003, the school's California State Academic Performance Index (API) score is 911, the leading score among all comprehensive public schools in the State of California. Its long time athletic rival is Los Gatos High School and its academic rivals are Lynbrook High School, Gunn High School and Monta Vista High School. A proposed Performing Arts and Lecture Center, a community facility, is being constructed on the campus. The center will be funded by the work of the Saratoga High School Foundation, which receives donations from local businesses, parents and others. It was originally scheduled to open in early-2004, but delays have pushed the completion date back to mid- to late-2005. The school is jointly accredited by the California Department of Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Saratoga High (and occasionaly Saratoga itself) is frequently referred to as "The Bubble" by students, due to the perception that the school is isolated from the problems of the outside world (crime, poverty, etc.). To reflect this, the student-run website SaratogaHigh.com uses the image of a soap bubble as its logo. Notable alumni Principals - Kevin Skelly (1997-2004)
- Harry Bettencourt (2004-)
