History
Fremont High School gymnasium

Part of the Oakland Unified School District, and located at 4610 Foothill Boulevard since 1905, the school was split into four smaller autonomous schools in 2003:

  • College Preparatory and Architecture Academy
  • Mandela High School
  • Media College Preparatory High School
  • Paul Robeson School, Visual and Performing Arts (closed after the 2009-2010 school year)

The three high schools remained and had their own administration until the spring of 2011. They functioned separately, though located on the same campus, and used the same library. They also had common sports teams under the Fremont High School banner.

After the spring of 2011, as part of an Oakland Unified School District decision to slowly reverse the small school system, the three remaining schools became less autonomous. The 2011-2012 school year reintroduced a central administration with three separate entities and budgets on campus: Mandela High, Media High, and CPAA. In 2012, the Fremont Federation of High Schools again became Fremont High School, with one single administration.[2]

Notable alumni
gollark: Basically, scrape TP page, try and pull out egg codes... Possible, though.
gollark: It'd be doable, but would take a while to do, as the API is awful.
gollark: Then add extra stuff like leaving messages with offers and sending messages about offers.
gollark: It's a simple concept; post DC links with attached text and possibly have a few convenience features like displaying eggs' images.
gollark: Okay, it'd probably take ages, but you know.
