At San Leandro High School, we celebrate our growth as a strong school community. Our purpose is to inspire and adequately prepare our scholars for college, career and life after high school. San Leandro High School students created a video to show their brilliance and the many opportunities provided for them to develop into strong spirited, determined critical thinkers that will continue to contribute to their community and society at large. This is a brief visual journey that our young scholars created to communicate our progress here at San Leandro High School to our board of education.
