Cupertino High School, colloquially referred to as "Tino", is a four-year comprehensive public high school located near the Rancho Rinconada and Fairgrove neighborhoods of Cupertino, California, USA. It is part of the Fremont Union High School District. The school serves mostly suburban residential and areas in eastern Cupertino, southern Santa Clara, and west San Jose.
Cupertino High School opened on September 15, 1958, with a school population of 700 9th and 10th graders and 30 staff members, with George Fernandez as principal. Kami Tomberlain is the current principal of Cupertino High, where the student population is currently 2,060.
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. New construction started in 2009 to accommodate the quickly growing student population. In the same year, the school built solar panels in the front staff parking lot in an effort to go green. In 2010, most of the athletic fields were demolished one by one and new ones were built by 2013: a rubber track and artificial turf American football field, as well as a baseball field and soccer/field hockey/softball field and a swimming pool. A new building containing a weight room, a team room, and a PE classroom was also created.
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, a cafeteria, including a kitchen, and a student lounge, with seating available on two floors. A new main office and the guidance and counseling offices, as well as the career center are located in the south building. Connecting the two buildings is a glass bridge, mainly the library, but also including a media lab, computer lab, conference room, and a staff counseling office.
