Tulare Union High School is a public school for secondary education in Tulare, California, USA. The school's mascot is "The Redskins". [ [http://www.tulare.k12.ca.us/TUHS/ Tulare High School Website] ] This high school is administered within the Tulare Joint Union High School District, along with Tulare Western High School and Mission Oak High School, headquartered in Tulare, the current superintendent of which is Howard Berger. [ [http://www.tcoe.k12.ca.us/Districts/TulareHigh.shtm Tulare County Office of Education Official Site] ]

The school has grown steadily since the 1980s with expanding local land development and corresponding general population. In 1989 the Tulare Joint Union High School District retained the firm of Earth Metrics to forecast district growth and analyze the facility needs of the system in future years. ["Relation of Commerce and Housing and the Need for Additional High School Facilities in the Tulare Joint Union High School District", Earth Metrics Incorporated, September, 1989] In the 1980s the California Legislature changed the rules governing school facilities financing by authorizing school districts to directly levy School Impact Fees (sometimes called "Developer Fees"), and by deeming the School Facilities Act ["California Government Code Section 65970 et seq."] the exclusive means by which cities and counties can address the overcrowding of schools. ["California Assembly Bill 2926, 1986 Stats. Chapter 887"] Thus at that time the district forecast the future enrollment and established appropriate development fees to finance forecast facilities needs to expand Tulare Union High School and other District facilities.

The Administration Building and the Auditorium are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
