Santa Rosa High School (SRHS) is a secondary school located in Santa Rosa, California. It is part of the Santa Rosa City High School District, which is itself part of Santa Rosa City Schools. The main administration is formed by the Principal (Brad Coscarelli), a Vice Principal (Monica Baldenegro) and Assistant Principals (Forrest Harper, Karolina Gage & James Madden). According to Santa Rosa City Schools, SRHS has 1,986 students, which is the largest school in the North Bay region.
SRHS was the only public high school for Santa Rosa from 1874 to 1958. Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC), located on the adjacent property, was actually a part of Santa Rosa High School from 1918 to 1927.
The school had several locations. The previous location on Humboldt Street burned to the ground in 1921. The school was moved to its current location and opened in 1924. The current school's design Brick Gothic, with soaring white columns towering over the triple entryway and the addition of gargoyles in niches near the roof, was created by W. H. Weeks in 1922. There are many more recent additions to the school, some copying the original design and others with more modern design and flavor.
Santa Rosa High School is an academic leader in Santa Rosa, having had for nine consecutive years the district's highest SAT scores, the streak ending in 1973. Santa Rosa High School has an API rating of 751. On-campus tutoring is available through an arrangement with Sonoma State University.
