Irvington High School is an American public high school located in Fremont, California. It is one of five public high schools in the Fremont Unified School District.
[edit] CampusThe 47-acre (190,000 m2) campus is located in the Irvington district. It opened in 1961 with a capacity of 1,450 students. Major construction in 1968 resulted in the addition of a 350-seat theater, a second gymnasium, and twenty-two classrooms, which boosted school capacity to 2,150. A fire broke out on the side of the campus facing Blacow Road destroying two classrooms and damaging eight others. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined and arson has not been ruled out. The estimated damage of the structure is estimated to be about $100,000. Materials and furniture damages are estimated to be $10,000.[3] [edit] Student and Demographics
[edit] Attendance AreaThe attendance area includes the Fremont districts of Irvington, Warm Springs, and part of Mission San Jose. Along with Irvington High School, the attendance area also includes five elementary schools—Grimmer, Harvey Green, Hirsch, Warm Springs/Leitch, and Weibel—and Horner Jr. High School. Students choosing to enter the high school that live outside the district lines may apply for a lottery or a transfer into the Irvington Arts Magnet Program. Additionally, applying for the Center For The Creative Arts Program (CCA) is an art-oriented method of getting in the school if a student does not live within the boundaries. CCA has modified English and Social Studies classes that are grouped together in a family that include more artistic guidelines. [edit] Awards

[edit] PublicationsIrvington's school newspaper is called The Voice (formerly The Viking Voice). It has a history of excellence in journalism and was formerly advised by FUSD Teacher of the Year Alicia Pike-Green. The name of the paper was altered to reflect the school's desire to downplay what certain members of the faculty perceived to be a politically incorrect mascot. During the 2002-2004 years, the Viking Voice was advised by Teri Hu, who also taught the Advanced Placement English Literature classes. The Viking Voice operated independently of the Irvington High School Administration. After multiple articles critical of the Irvington Administration in the 2003-2004 school year, the Administration pressured Teri Hu to leave. [5] [6] Co-editor-in-chief Kevin Zhu made an impassioned speech before the school board on behalf of First Amendment issues. The Voice's independence from the administration in recent years has been disputed. Additionally, Irvington also publishes an annual literary arts magazine called The RUNE. In May 2005, The RUNE returned after a six year hiatus. Then came, "The Penchant" which was started by Justine Yan. There are already 2 issues of it out in the last two years. The Creative Writing Club is behind it. In 2003 Volume 42 was titled "Viking Tales" And the theme consisted of mystic artwork. This book was noted for its cover and Viking-style dragon artwork. In 2004 Volume 43 was titled "Convergence" The theme focused on connection though high school years. In 2005 Volume 44 was titled "Ending-Unending" This book was noted for its bright colors and its sideways binding. In 2006 Volume 45 was titled "SAGA" This book was self titled and focused hevily on photography, using large pictures that extended to the edge of the pages. In 2007 Volume 46 was titled "Heroes" This book was done in a comic book style, every layout was modelled after an actual comic book layout and was noted for its black cover and the Division Pages.
