Profiles

John swett high school freshman orientation


John Swett High School is located in Crockett, California, United States. It serves the communities of Crockett, Port Costa, Rodeo, and the Foxboro area of Hercules. It is named after John Swett, former California Superintendent of Public Instruction, elected in 1863. John Swett High School was established in 1927. The school remains in its original building complex, which was extensively renovated five years after original construction for seismic retrofitting at a cost of two-thirds of the original cost of the complex. John Swett High School is part of the John Swett Unified School District.

Despite backlash from the students, the school's Indian mascot was dropped by a vote of the School District Board in February of 2015. Citing the Golden State Warriors as an example, the school mascot became the Warriors in February of 2016. However, unlike the NBA team, the high school has not eliminated Native American references. The Native American group who lobbied for the change see the new name as equally offensive.
