> [@Cowgirl Jules](#): > > Granada High School, Livermore, CA 1987 > California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), San Luis Obispo, CA 1992 Cool! I grew up in Livermore but would have gone to Livermore High had we not moved in '84. But I bet you went to school with some of the people I went to grade school with (OR ‘with whom I went to grade school’ for the pedants out there). For myself… Reedley High School, Reedley, CA: 1989 California State University, Sacramento: 1989-1990 (failed most of my classes so I’m not sure whether it counts or not) Reedley College (formerly Kings River Community College): 1994-1995 California State University, Fresno: 1995-1998 (finally finished my undergrad) University of California, Santa Cruz: 1998-2000 (graduate school) ---
