History

College Park High School was founded in 1960 to alleviate population pressure from nearby Pleasant Hill High. The new institution chose the falcon for its mascot. The school had been constructed on land adjacent to Diablo Valley College, leading to the name College Park. A fierce rivalry developed between College Park and Pleasant Hill High until the latter closed. This rivalry was later transferred to both Alhambra and Northgate High Schools. [6]

Athletics

The school has won state championships in girls cross-country (2003 and 2004) and boys wrestling (1966-NORCAL champions, 1967-NORCAL-5TH, 1993-4TH CIF STATE, 1994-8TH CIF STATE). [7]
