Dublin High School was established amidst this process in 1968-first as the second high school in Pleasanton, California. The city scrambled to expand the school system, opening and closing several schools within the next few decades. The population subsequently skyrocketed, from 750 to 13,641 by 1970.
This proved satisfactory until the late 1950s after World War II, when real estate developers chose Dublin as a site for large-scale suburban development. The Murray School District, consisting of the quaint Murray School, was established in 1866 to meet the educational needs of an ever-increasing population.
In August 2015, Dublin High School was notified of inclusion in Newsweek 's 2015 List of America's Top Public High Schools (ranked #165, the top ranked Tri-Valley high school).
