Welcome to MONTGOMERY
Welcome to the Montgomery High School website. Our school is located in Santa Rosa , California and we are an International Baccalaureate High School.
We are one of five comprehensive high schools in the Santa Rosa City School District. We have approximately 1900 students with 120 staff members. Our school is known for its strong academics, extra-curricular offerings, and strong scholar-athletic teams. We believe in relationships, relevance, and rigor. We strive to know our students well, have challenging curriculum that is relevant to the world we live in, and support each student to stretch his or her capabilities so that each student has expanded choices after high school. We are the Montgomery High School family, which includes staff and alumni since our opening in 1958. The Viking tradition continues to provide a strong high school experience for youth. GO VIKINGS!
