Galt High School, a WASC accredited school, is one of three available high schools within Galt, California. == History == Galt High School was established on October 20, 1911 as a result of Dr. Montegue combining efforts with J.W. Reese to form a high school district in Galt, California. The city of Galt had an election to decide whether Galt High should be built. The vote tally was 141 yes and 40 no.〔http://www.galthistory.org/history/school/highschool/index.htm〕 In 1911 after the opening of the school, there were six teachers, three females and three males. The first subjects taught were English, Latin, Math, composition, and music. The first graduate of Galt High was Katherine Reynolds.〔 The first official high school was built in 1913. The second Galt High School was burned down in 1924. The third Galt High was completed in 1927. This school was built prior to earthquake safety laws and was ordered to be demolished in 1948. The school the students attend now is the fourth Galt High School.〔 In the 2011-2012 school year, to celebrate Galt High School's 100 years of history, Galt alumni searched for fellow graduates to join the celebration. Galt High School had a week-long celebration which included an alumni football game, rallies, contests for boys and girls, and floats made by current and past high school students.〔http://www.galtheraldonline.com/articles/2011/09/14/lifestyle/doc4e67f3fdaaffc981563167.txt〕 Recently the class of 2012 changed the name of the Galt High library to V.
