School Development Fund published a collection of Berkeley High college essays
called True Admissions. All the essays were written by Berkeley High
seniors. True Admissions raised over $8,000 for the College
and Career Center-it also attracted the attention of Cody's Books and Stone
Bridge Press who together have brought out a second edition under a new name:
<B>The Berkeley Book of College Essays</B>. The book is appealing
both to students who are contemplating writing their own college essays
and to adults who are interested in the stories behind a large urban
high school.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

students runs from October to March. The small group tours leave the Front Desk
at 9:30 a.m. most mornings and are by reservation only. They last about an
hour. The tours walk by classrooms--many of which have
open doors --but they do not go into rooms for observation.
The tours are not "orientation tours." (There are wonderful student-led
tours for our incoming students in August.) The fall and early spring tours are
directed towards parents who are deciding if Berkeley
High is the appropriate school for their child. Prospective students
are welcome but ONLY if accompanied by their parent or guardian.
