Templeton High School
Templeton High School enjoys a reputation of academic excellence achieved through a thinking- and-meaning-centered curriculum, active student involvement, student leadership, athletics, and a quality vocational agricultural program and visual and performing arts program. Students are afforded the opportunity to enroll in as many as 13 advanced placement courses. High schools of Templeton’s size do not typically offer such an expanded course selection. Specialized courses allow students to enroll in courses designed to expand their horizons in the fields of agriculture, science and technology.
Templeton High School has been named a California Distinguished School, a National Blue Ribbon High School, and a California Gold Ribbon School and is annually recognized in Newsweek magazine’s list of top high schools in the nation. The high school is supported by an outstanding staff and various parent groups such as CSI, Athletic Boosters, FFA Parent Boosters, and TIMBA, providing numerous opportunities for academic support outside the school day or simply a safe place to hang with their friends.
