Del Oro High School is located in Loomis, California, and is a part of the Placer Union High School District. Del Oro High School opened for instruction of freshmen and sophomores on September 28, 1959, one week after Placer in Auburn and Colfax opened. It was founded in 1958 and currently has over 1600 students attending.
The dropout rate is 1%, which is below the California state average. Many of Del Oro's teachers are return students. The school has a decades long rivalry with neighboring Placer High School in Auburn, CA, as well as more recent rivalries with Granite Bay High School and Rocklin High School.
Del Oro's Division I ranked athletes compete in football, basketball, tennis, baseball, cross country, water polo, track, soccer, and wrestling.
Del Oro High School has an outstanding Leadership program that is responsible for upholding and continuing the years of tradition that make up Del Oro High School and the surrounding community. It is available for students each term 1st and 3rd block. To get into the class as a commissioner, a student must apply and be accepted by class or ASB officers. To be a class officer, a student must be elected by his or her class in the elections held each spring. To be an ASB officer, a student must be elected by the entire school. Del Oro High School's current ASB officers are- President: Spencer Bergthold; Vice President: Taylor Dumitru; Secretary: Ashlyn Cooper; Treasurer: Ethan Tooker
The Leadership Program is the most well established Del Oro High School organization within the rural Loomis community. The outreach of the program extends far beyond the school, recognized often for substantial dedication and accomplishments in local publications. It is currently headed up by Del Oro High School activities director and water polo/swim coach, Stephanie Fee, a Del Oro graduate of her own.
Del Oro High School's W.I.N.G.S (standing for With Integrity aNd Guiding Support) program is a dedicated group of students responsible for mentoring and guiding the freshmen class each year.
