San Leandro High School

San Leandro High School (SLHS) is a four-year public high school in San Leandro, California, USA. It is the only comprehensive high school in the San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD). In 2007, land was purchased for a new building to house the freshman class to relieve overcrowding at SLHS. The freshman (9th grade) campus is named the "Fred T. Korematsu Campus", after civil rights activist Fred Korematsu who had significant connections to San Leandro. As of the 2017–2018 school year, the campus had its status removed as a 9th grade only campus and now houses the math and foreign language department for all grade levels, with some exceptions.
