Return of the
Scots
A teacher throwback Carolina Cuadros Carlmont High School was initially founded in 1952 and went through numerous changes between then and now. It has grown to over 2,000 students today, and the culture has shifted during every generation since. Currently, there are around 10 teachers at Carlmont who once attended as students. They were all drawn back to the home of the Scots to contribute to the place that helped create the talented and impactful teachers they are today.

Mary Codianne ‘73 Q: Was there a different dress code at Carlmont when you were a student?
A: The dress code was very different
when I started at Carlmont. When I went, it was the first year that girls were allowed to wear pants, and they couldn’t wear jeans; they had to wear slacks.
Q: Have you noticed a difference in school dances since 1973?
A: Our school dances mainly were on campus; they would decorate the gym. Also, graduation night was held at the school, but that is no longer the case.
Q: Was there a difference between the way mental health was addressed at Carlmont when you were a student?
A: I don’t even think we talked about mental health when I was a student. I honestly can’t even remember [mental health] being a conversation.
