Carlsbad High School is a public high school in Carlsbad, California. As an aftermath of World War II and the subsequent baby boom, Carlsbad's population skyrocketed and there became a sudden need for more schools. In 1955, voters in Oceanside and Carlsbad voted and approved a $1.26 million dollar construction bond that funded the building of Carlsbad's first public high school. Carlsbad High School first opened in 1957 and the high school underwent major redevelopment from 2009 to 2012. In 2010, the API index for the school was 812. Before construction of the high school, most students in Carlsbad went to the combined Oceanside Carlsbad High School, which was founded in 1908.

In December 2001, the band No Doubt played a surprise concert at the high school as the first episode of the MTV show "Jammed." Students were not told of the concert until they were dismissed from class for the day. [2] MTV staff worked with school administrators and staff to facilitate the concert between the football field and gymnasium.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the high school on August 11, 2006 [3] to announce his plans for the future of funding and education in California's schools.

On February 19, 2016, the band Echosmith played a concert for the school as part of the State Farm #Drive2N2 campaign. The school won the concert as a result of a safe driving video submitted by the broadcasting department to the contest. The broadcasting department received a $100,000 grant for winning.

Campus

Originally built more than fifty years ago, the campus has undergone renovation and construction on a new campus. The school's address was 3557 Monroe until it was changed to Lancer Way about 15 years ago. The school started out with just two buildings called the 100 building and the 200 building. Renovation for the whole campus began in 2008 with the construction of a new football field and stadium. The new 'Swede Krcmar Field' opened March 2010. Newly built classrooms were occupied by classes beginning January 9, 2012. The world famous skate landmark, the Carlsbad Gap, was deconstructed on February 23, 2012. Renovation was completed in May 2012.

Enrollment

Based on a 2019-20 survey, the total number of students enrolled at Carlsbad High is 2,404 students. [4] There were 3 students in grade 8, 598 in 9th, 570 in 10th, 637 in 11th, and 596 in 12th. The student body is 57% White, 30.2% Hispanic or Latino, 6.3% two or more races, 4.6% Asian, and <2% other.
