Biography/Administrative History

When Mill Valley’s population began to expand after many San Franciscans relocated to Marin County following the 1906 earthquake, the need for a new high school in southern Marin was recognized. In July of 1906, the Tamalpais Union School District was created, and two years later, Tamalpais High welcomed its first students. Over the years, the Alumni Association collected various school materials.
