Oakland Schools – Tech High

In researching the schools in Oakland, I found out that there are a lot of them and a few schools more than their fair share of photos or history.

Technical High and Oakland High are two of those schools.

Tech High School also has a great website celebrating its Centennial in 2012.

Oakland High School has a great history with photos on their Oakland High School Memorial site.

So, with that in mind, I wasn’t going to spend much time on either of these schools, but I found these of Technical High, and I couldn’t resist sharing.

The following are from the book by one of the architects of Tech.

School Architecture Principles and Practices By John Joseph Donovan 1921

  1. My dad graduated from Tech in 1927, and I would have been class of 1967 had we not been transferred out of state in ’62. Still a beautiful school.

  2. I’m a 1948 graduate, who has earned his PhD in Social//Clinical Psychology. I loved learning gymnastics from Coach Hamilton, and the social life of Tech. At 94 years of age, I still use some of the exercises learned at Tech.
