San Rafael City Schools, SRHS Demographics

San Rafael High School is a public high school located at 150 Third St. in San Rafael, California, United States.

The school is part of the San Rafael City Schools school district. Its official nickname is the Bulldogs, however its athletic teams have been known casually as the Dawgs since the mid-1980s.

The school is located on a 33-acre (130,000 m²) campus in central San Rafael.

San Rafael High School opened in 1888. The school's current campus opened in 1924.

The school is often cited as the origin (1971) of the time and codeword 420 in drug culture; originally "420" served as a code word for "The Waldos", a group of marijuana users who would meet in front of a statue of Louis Pasteur at 4:20 p.m. to smoke marijuana, both near the statue and at other clandestine locations on campus grounds. The "420" moniker was in widespread use on campus during the '74 through '76 timeframe by the school stoner community. As the usage spread, the original connotations of the word "420" faded away.
