Tomales High School is a public secondary school located in Tomales, California, an unincorporated community in western Marin County. It serves as the high school for the Shoreline Unified School District, which covers a large rural area spanning parts of both Marin and Sonoma Counties, including the communities of Tomales, Bodega Bay, Inverness, and Point Reyes Station.
The school provides instruction for students in grades 9 through 12. Given its location in an agricultural and coastal region, the school’s curriculum and extracurricular activities often include programs related to agriculture, environmental science, and vocational training alongside standard California college-preparatory requirements. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
Tomales High School is characterized by a relatively small student population compared to urban and suburban schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, reflecting the low population density of the West Marin coastal region. The school serves as a central social and educational hub for the surrounding rural communities.
