Ukiah High School (also referred to as UHS or "Ukiahi") is the oldest public high school in Ukiah, California, the seat of Mendocino County. Established in 1893, it is the largest school by enrollment and only four-year comprehensive high school in the Ukiah Unified School District. It serves all students in the ninth through twelfth grades from the incorporated city of Ukiah plus the four smaller, adjacent communities of Calpella, Hopland, Redwood Valley and Talmage and other rural residents of southeastern Mendocino County. The district's boundaries encompass a total area of 495mi2 with a population of approximately 40,000.
The school's current location, a campus built on 60acres on Low Gap Road in the northwest portion of the city, opened for the 1978-79 academic year.
The school was recognized as a California Distinguished School in 1988 and again in 2001.[9]
