Since its founding in 1902, more than 50,000 students have graduated from San Mateo High School. Many of these Bearcat alumni have distinguished themselves in the arts, sports, business, entertainment, and food and wine world. Bearcats have become actors and actresses, been drafted in the NFL, become world renowned artists, founded companies, produced movies, starred in television shows, become jazz musicians, and one Bearcat even won the Masters golf tournament. In addition to all this, Bearcats have volunteered in their communities and sent their own children to San Mateo High School to continue the Bearcat tradition.

You Can Make A Difference
Even with the Bearcat spirit, these are challenging times for San Mateo High School. Budgets are being cut, staff laid off, and programs and events eliminated. Many of these things have a special place in our hearts as Bearcat alumni. The teachers who inspired us, the sports we enjoyed to play or watch, the activities and events we will never forget. You can contribute so that a new generation of Bearcats is able to grow and thrive. The San Mateo High School Foundation raises funds through building relationships and creating awareness to support San Mateo High School academics and programs that help prepare students for the success they deserve.
