Welcome to MONTGOMERY
Welcome to the Montgomery High School website. Our school is located in Santa Rosa , California and we are an International Baccalaureate High School.
We are one of five comprehensive high schools in the Santa Rosa City School District. We have approximately 1900 students with 120 staff members. Our school is known for its strong academics, extra-curricular offerings, and strong scholar-athletic teams. We believe in relationships, relevance, and rigor. We strive to know our students well, have challenging curriculum that is relevant to the world we live in, and support each student to stretch his or her capabilities so that each student has expanded choices after high school. We are the Montgomery High School family, which includes staff and alumni since our opening in 1958. The Viking tradition continues to provide a strong high school experience for youth. GO VIKINGS!

CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION
The California Scholarship Federation is an honor society based upon academic achievement. Members are not recruited. Rather, students apply after they have completed a semester. Students may file an application at any time during the entire month of September to gain eligibility from their spring semester grades. Students may file an application at any time during the entire month of February to gain eligibility from their fall semester grades. Each applicant must obtain an application from either Mrs. Butler (in Room 52) or Mrs. O'Meara in the Counseling Office or the Counseling Office. The applicant may also download the application from the Montgomery website. The application form publishes all of the information to determine eligibility. Sealbearers (or Lifetime Members) must have been a member for four semesters, one of which must be during the 12 th -grade year. Ninth graders are not eligible. 10 th -graders are eligible only after the fall semester.
ADVISORS: Ann Butler & Joanne O'Meara
