It is named after the English privateer and naval hero Sir Francis Drake, who purportedly landed in the area in 1579. The school's mascot is a pirate named Petey. The school was established in 1951 as the second high school in the Tamalpais Union High School District. It is located at 1327 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, situated on a 21-acre (85,000 m²) campus bordered by two creeks. The site was formerly known as Cordone Gardens.[3] Approximately 99% of Drake's 2015 students graduated.[4] HistorySir Francis Drake high school was founded in 1951 in San Anselmo, California, providing schooling for students from Fairfax, Forest Knolls, Lagunitas, San Geronimo, Woodacre, San Anselmo, and Nicasio grades 9–12. This was the second high school to be introduced into the Tamalpais Union High School District, the first being Tamalpais High School.[3] Until 1958, Sir Francis Drake High School served other towns of Marin that are now served by Redwood High School, including Corte Madera, Ross, Larkspur, Greenbrae, and Kentfield.[3] Between 1992 and 1995, Drake High School started a new program of small learning communities due to the poor performance of students, which was affecting the perception of the school.[5] Drake has received two state grants for these programs; one in 1996–1997 and the other being in 2000.[3] Since then, there have been four Freshman–Sophomore Academies and two Junior–Senior Academies.[6] In 2012, Drake implemented a new technology program called "Echo". Its goal was to encourage communication, collaboration, and improve teacher practices.[7] ECHO is active in two of the four Freshmen-Sophomore academies: Trek[8] and Galileo.[9] School AwardsDrake High School has received many awards for its academic success through the 90's. In 1990 was Designated as a Next Century School by RJR Nabisco Foundation for its "entrepreneurship in education."[3][10] Drake was one of the thirty school to receive this award. In 1999 Drake High School was designated as a California Distinguished School.[3][11] In 2003 Drake was the first high school to be recognized has a Bay Area Green Business School for its environmental awareness around campus.[3][12] AcademiesSir Francis Drake High School has five currently running academies. Three of those five (TLC, ROCK, and DaVinci) are referred to as "Small Learning Communities," or slc's, and are designated for freshmen and sophomores. The other two (ComAcad and SEA-DISC) are the only academies referred to as such, and are designated for juniors and seniors. Former AcademiesBefore the 2016-2017 school year, there were four small learning communities, those being TREK, Galileo, Mobius, and ROCK. Of those four, only ROCK is still active. TREK and Galileo had curriculum similar to The Learning Collaborative, and were effectively converted into the latter after being dissolved. Mobius, conversely, was most comparable to DaVinci, and was replaced by it. The Learning CollaborativeThe Learning Collaborative (commonly referred to as "TLC") is Drake's newest small learning community, in addition to being its most populous slc by a great margin. It replaced two former slc's simultaneously, those being Galileo and TREK. The Learning Collaborative's long term goal is to enrich students academically while preparing them for the real world. ROCKROCK was started in 1992, making it the first academy.[13] ROCK is a Freshman-Sophomore academy which has an focus on the arts. ROCK focuses on four large group projects a year that help to nurture an environment for writers, artist, scientist, and problem solvers.[13] The four ROCK teachers are Dr. Michael Wing (Science), Mary Kitchens (English), Paul Grifo (Social Studies), and Jasper Thelin (Art/Drama). ROCK is considered by students to be one of the more difficult frosh-soph programs. DaVinciDaVinci was created in 2016, and has an emphasis primarily on STEAM classes ( science, technology, engineering, art, and math), with its two required electives for Freshman being art and principals of technology. There are 5 primary DaVinci teachers; Mary Buchannan (Science), Valerie Wynn (History), Cathy Sarkesian (English), Rod Milstead (Engineering), and Adam Beebe (art). As of 2018, DaVinci is currently the smallest SLC in terms of student population. Sea-DiscSea-Disc is a Junior-Senior academy with a focus on group project revolving around environmental education and protection.[14] The program focuses on giving students hands-on experience taking care of the environment with laboratory experiments and Field Trips, helping students to make a difference. Students also are asked political and environmental questions without a defined answers and have to find an answer.[15] ComacadThe Communications Academy of Sir Francis Drake High School is an inter-disciplinary two-year program of English, Economics and Digital Communications.[16] Extracurricular activitiesBasketballIn 1982 both the boys and girls basketball teams took the state division II title. The boys basketball team returned to the states championship in 2014 but lost.[3] Jolly RogerThe school newspaper, the Jolly Roger is published almost every month. The 1986-87 edition was a winner of Columbia University’s Silver Crown Award for high school newspapers in 1988.[17] The Jolly Roger has been a regular recipient of the Medalist rating, given to the top 5% among high school newspapers in its class in United States. Mountain Biking ClubThe school's NICA NorCal League mountain bike team is notable for being one of the first in the nation and has won numerous regional and statewide competitions.[18] The team is nine time NorCal League champions (2004, 2006, 2009-2017) and five time California State champions (2009-2012, 2015-2017),[19] being beaten by Redwood High School in 2013 and 2014[20] Notable alumni
