Facilities

The current San Leandro High School building opened in 1949.[7]

In 2007, land was purchased for a new building to house the freshman (9th grade) class in order to relieve overcrowding at SLHS. The freshman campus, which opened in 2010, is named the "Fred T. Korematsu (FTK) Campus" after civil rights activist Fred Korematsu. The FTK campus is located at 13701 Bancroft Avenue, one block from the main campus. As of the 2017–2018 school year, the FTK campus houses the math and foreign language department for all grade levels, and is no longer an exclusively for freshman campus.

In 2011, the new Arts Education Center opened. It includes a green screen room, control room, two sound booths, five classrooms, and a 552-seat performing arts theater.[8]

The music program features marching band, jazz band, wind ensemble, freshmen band, freshmen orchestra, advanced orchestra, choir, and Notables.
