Monterey High School

Monterey High School

The City of Monterey occupies a most important place in California history. It became the seat of California government in 1849 when our first State Constitution was drawn up at Colton Hall but it was in 1904 that Monterey High's history began. In the fall of that year, forty students and four teachers met in the top floor of the grammar school building located on the area we now call the "lower campus," and classes began for Monterey High School.
