Piner High School was built in 1966 in Santa Rosa, California.[5] Piner High School opened with 9th, 10th, and 11th grades in the fall of 1966.[5] It did not become a four-year high school until the early 1990s. The class of 1968 was the first graduating class in the school's history. Before the first graduating class, William McCrossen, an adult, finished his high school education and was, in fact, the very first graduate of Piner High School.[6] The class of 1975 was the last of the four-year courses until 1996 when Piner was re-established as a four-year high school to alleviate overcrowding of local middle schools.
In February 2025, the Santa Rosa City School District Board decided to make Piner High School into a K7-12 school taking in middle schoolers who were expected to go to Hilliard Comstock Middle School by June 2026.[7]
Curriculum
Piner High School also offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses and exams meaning the school has met the College Board's requirements to offer college-level courses to high school students.[8]
Piner High School is involved in a dual-enrollment program with Santa Rosa Junior College allowing students to take junior college courses for college and high school credits.[9]
