Carlmont High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlmont High School is a secondary school located in Belmont, California, United States. Its name derives from the campus straddling the two adjacent cities of San Carlos and Belmont (thus the portmanteau of Carlos + Belmont).

Carlmont has a student body of about 2,100[1] with students from many different cities including Belmont, San Carlos, East Palo Alto, Redwood City, and San Mateo. Carlmont is part of the Sequoia Union High School District. It was founded in the year 1952. The athletic teams are known as the Scots.

The novel My Posse Don't Do Homework by LouAnne Johnson and subsequent movie Dangerous Minds were loosely based upon events that occurred at Carlmont in the 1990s. These 'Dangerous Minds' students were from the city of East Palo Alto, 11 miles away.

East Palo Alto students had to take early buses to Carlmont because East Palo Alto's high school had been closed several years before. An 'Open Enrollment' policy in the school district changed this by allowing East Palo Alto students to attend a closer high school to home, space permitting. Carlmont is the farthest school geographically in the district from East Palo Alto.
