Las Plumas High School (LP) is located in the north valley in Oroville, California, United States, about 70 miles north of Sacramento. The school was established in the autumn of 1961. The class of 1965 was the first class to go from freshmen to seniors at the school. Its main sports rival is Oroville High School. The school song used to be AC/DC's "Thunderstruck", but was later changed to the "Thunderbird Fight Song".
The school is situated north of the small farming community of Palermo, located just south of Oroville. Both Table Mountain and the Sutter Buttes can be seen from the school, as well as the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The school has a large, spread-out campus that is dominated by open fields in the southern part. In the center of the campus is the quad, where most of the school's activity takes place. The quad is regularly decorated by several clubs, and is maintained by many student organizations, most notably the FFA, who planted many of the quad's flower beds and maintain the new saplings.
The 2014–2015 student population was broken down as follows: 4% American Indian, 10% Asian (mostly Hmong), 24% Hispanic, 1% Black, .1% Filipino, and 53% White. The ratio of males/females was 51%/49%, and the graduation rate was 89.96%. For that school year the school had 80 classroom teachers, and the ratio of teachers to students was 24:1.
Thirty-six clubs are listed at the school's official website, including the following: Academic Decathlon, Anime Club, Art Club, ASB, Asian Club, Auto Club, AVID, BSU, California Scholarship Federation, Conflict Manager, Diversified Occupations, Diversity Club, Environmental Club, FBLA, FFA, FHA-HERO, Freshman Class, Friday Night Live, GATE, Gay-Straight Alliance, Gamerz Club, Key Club, Interact Club, Junior Class, Legend Yearbook, Link Crew, MECHA, MESA, Native American Club, NJROTC, Senior Class, Snowboard/Ski Club, and Sophomore Class.
