Stockton High School (California)

Stockton High School (1904–1966), home of the Tarzans, was a high school in Stockton, California, part of the Stockton Unified School District. It opened in 1904 on property bounded by Harding Way, Vine, San Joaquin and California streets. The main building of the old high school, which became Stockton Junior High School in 1948, was deemed unsafe and demolished in 1966. The rest of the buildings were not earthquake safe and abandoned and demolished. Commodore Skills School opened on the grounds in 1979 and later moved to the building that was formerly Webster Middle School.[1]

California Concerts (also referred to as Jazz Goes to High School) is a live album by saxophonist and bandleader Gerry Mulligan featuring performances recorded at the Stockton High School and Herbert Hoover High School.

During World War II, Stockton High "sponsored" 275 jeeps in the Schools at War program.[2]
