John Swett High School is located in Crockett, California, USA, and serves the communities of Crockett, Port Costa, Rodeo, and the Foxboro area of Hercules. It is named after John Swett, former California Superintendent of Public Instruction, elected in 1863. John Swett High School was established in 1927. The school remains in its original building complex, which was extensively renovated five years after original construction for seismic retrofitting at a cost of two-thirds of the original cost of the complex.[citation needed] John Swett High School is part of the John Swett Unified School District. Despite backlash from the students, the school's Indian mascot was dropped by a vote of the School District Board in February, 2015.[1]
