Gunn High School
Gunn High School opened in August 1964 with an initial enrollment of 600 students, comprising 300 sophomores and 300 juniors.[11] Gunn High School received national attention in 2009 after four of its students died of suicide over a span of seven months.[23] Hanna Rosin wrote in a 2015 The Atlantic article that due to the emphasis on academics and competition between students, Gunn became "an extreme distillation of what parents in the meritocratic elite expect from a school."[19] Gunn offers a wide selection of mathematics courses ranging from Algebra to AP Calculus BC.[28] Gunn is a host to Project Lead the Way (PLTW), an organization that promotes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education.[19] In 2012, the Robotics Team won the National FRC Championship Excellence in Design Award (3D Animation) sponsored by Autodesk.
