Petaluma High School

What Petaluma High School does

Petaluma High School is a public secondary school operating at 201 Fair Street in Petaluma, California, as part of the Petaluma City Schools district. Founded in 1902, the school serves grades 9-12 students residing within district boundaries, offering a comprehensive academic program that includes standard coursework meeting A-G graduation requirements, Advanced Placement and Honors courses, Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, and the Seal of Biliteracy program. The school supports college preparation through a dedicated College & Career Center, dual enrollment opportunities with local colleges, and work-based learning partnerships with organizations including 10,000 Degrees and Workability.

The school's technology infrastructure is built on standard district-provided platforms: Aeries Portal for student information management, ParentSquare for family communications, RevTrak for fee processing, STOPit for student safety reporting, and Facilitron for facilities booking. Student media is produced through the Trojan Broadcast Channel on YouTube, and the school maintains social media presence via Instagram and district-level Facebook. Extracurricular offerings include a competitive athletics program, social-emotional learning counseling services, and a student-run PTSA.

As a government-funded public school, Petaluma High School does not generate tuition revenue; it is funded through California state allocations, local property taxes, and federal education programs under the governance of an elected school board. Enrollment is open to in-district students without charge, with ancillary fees (parking permits, facility use) processed through RevTrak. The school does not disclose financial data, has no funding rounds, and operates as a non-commercial public service entity rather than an investable business.
