[edit] History
Armijo High School is a secondary school located in Fairfield, California which first began operation in 1891. This school has been named both a California Distinguished School and a National School of Excellence. This school is encompassed into the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, which includes several other area high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools. Their athletic teams are known as the Indians and the school colors are purple and gold. The school has many clubs and opportunities for students to become better adults.
The school started with a single classroom over at Crystal Elementary School, with a mere thirty students. After that, it was moved to a simple wooden frame building where it remained for about fifteen years. During that time the student population ranged from about twenty to forty students, very small in comparison to today's size. The school was then moved to the large white, stone building that is now used as courthouse. There it stayed for about fifty years, and this is where it grew the most. Within the last thirty years it moved to the buildings that Armijo is presently situated in at 824 Washington Street.
The Armijo Signal is part of the High School National Ad Network.
