St. Helena High School, high school in St. Helena, Napa County, California
St. Helena High School is a public school serving grades 9 through 12 in a small California town. The campus includes a restored stone building from 1912, modern classrooms, sports facilities, and sits near vineyards that surround the area.
The school was founded in 1912 on land donated by Frances Grayson Crane, supporting the town's growth. After seismic safety concerns in the 1960s prompted the halt of classes in the original building, restoration work in 2003 made it earthquake-resistant and preserved it.
The school building anchors community life in St. Helena, hosting sports events, theater performances, and band concerts where students and families gather. These gatherings reflect the town's identity and how residents connect through the school's daily activities.
The school sits near Main Street, making it easy to locate, and is surrounded by vineyards. Access to the campus may be limited to certain areas, so checking with the office about visiting conditions beforehand is helpful.
The school has a sister relationship with Nuriootpa High School in South Australia, allowing students to learn about other cultures. Several alumni have pursued notable careers, including filmmaker Sofia Coppola.
