Acalanes High School honors the Bay Miwok, and in particular the Saklan nation, as the original caretakers of the land where our school district resides. Their history and living culture are deeply intertwined with this area, spanning thousands of years. We also acknowledge the neighboring East Bay Ohlone nations and recognize the ongoing contributions of both the Bay Miwok and East Bay Ohlone people to our communities. By increasing our awareness of Indigenous peoples, we can foster greater respect and work towards a more equitable and inclusive future. To learn more, please use the links below.
