Petaluma High School is a public high school located in Petaluma, California. Petaluma High School's rival is Casa Grande High School. Petaluma High School is located in the relatively small town of Petaluma, California. Though known for its FFA and other agricultural programs, Petaluma High is home to students with different interests and unique backgrounds. With its exchange student program, every year students from all over the world come to Petaluma High to live with a family and take part in school activities, while getting an education at this regionally accredited public school. Though a public school, Petaluma High offers many advanced placement and honors courses for students looking to get ahead in college. The languages offered include Spanish and French, both of which have levels up to level five. The school (along with nearby Casa Grande High) is set to a “block schedule”, made so that while there are only three (or four if students choose to take a before school class known as “zero hour”) classes. These classes are longer, giving students the time for both learning in class, and doing homework and asking any questions on homework. Along with this block schedule, students have a tutorial time in between either 1st and 2nd periods on A days, or 4th and 5th periods on B days. This tutorial time is commonly used to meet with friends, but it is more widely used to go to classes when students need help on homework, or when they were confused on the lesson on the previous day. Students who take advanced placement and honors classes are students looking to excel.

The current principal is Brian Howard, who was a Casa Grande High SChool vice principal until he was named principal in July 2007. The three vice principals are Jennifer Zavoiko who has been at the school since October 2007, David STirrat who started in August 2008, and acting Vice Principal Ms. Linda Hansen who has been around since the beginning of this school year until the school district finds Linda Scheele's replacement.
