History
Alameda High School was founded in 1890 in what is now the location of the Carnegie Library on Santa Clara Avenue. In 1926, the school was moved to its current location, between Encinal and Central Avenues to the north and south, Walnut and Oak Streets to the east and west. The architecture, designed by local architect Carl Werner, is early-twentieth-century Neo-Classical Revival in nature, evoking images of ancient Greek temples with Ionic columns in front of the Kofman Auditorium, a facility known throughout the Bay Area as one of the best of the local playhouses. In 1948, a building, generally referred to as the "West Wing" or the "New Building", was added and in 1978, additional facilities were built on the site of the nearby Porter School. At present, the offices of the Alameda Unified School District and the Alameda Public Library reside in the Kofman Buildings. The West Wing now houses Language and Fine Arts, as well as the Fred Chacon Little Theater. The school was made an Alameda Historical Monument in 1976 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

Football has seen better years but are in a renaissance due to Kevin Hennessee, who led the team to four consecutive winning seasons, four consecutive Island Bowl victories against crosstown rivals Encinal High and two playoff appearances in three years, 2003 and 2005. Sadly, in July of 2006, Hennessee resigned from his position as football coach and relocated to Palm Springs to be closer to his father. Offensive coordinator George Calandri has been chosen as his successor and not much change is expected. Other than Hennessee, the entire staff is returning, including Calandri, Errico Bachicha, Stephen Burnett, Eric Halverson, Kevin Lew, David May, Kevin McKenna, Jarrett Moyer, Kemp Moyer, Steve Rochlin, Ryan Rogers, and Steve Yamasaki.
