Rancho Bernardo High School is a public high school in the Poway Unified School District of San Diego County, California. RBHS opened in September 1990 as the district's third high school. The student body is comprised of approximately 3,000 students in grades 9 through 12. There are approximately 150 faculty members.

Athletics

Rancho Bernardo is a Division II school competing in the Palomar League against Poway High School, Mount Carmel High School, Westview High School, Torrey Pines High School, and La Costa Canyon High School. The school's sports teams go by the name "The Broncos".

Rancho Bernardo Royal Regiment

The school's marching band is known as the Rancho Bernardo Royal Regiment. When performing on the field, the Royal Regiment (2005-2006) is comprised of 168 musicians and 52 Color Guard (Auxiliary).

During marching season (August through November) the Royal Regiment performs in several regional field show tournaments and band reviews. Throughout the rest of the academic year the music program is focused on Orchestra, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble. The groups perform at regional music festivals and local venues. The Color Guard also ramps up after marching season to perform at winter guard events throughout the United States.

At Rancho Bernardo High School, students find that in striving for excellence they learn a great deal about teamwork, cooperation, personal commitment, and respect. Many also discover a life-long love of music. They are led on this journey by: Directors Tom Cole and Gary Horimoto; Assistant Director Vince Hernandez; Marching Instructor Alan Cox; Color Guard Instructors Rob Jett and Robbie Jacobson; Percussion Instructors Mike Holguin and Matt Armstrong.

Underwear incident

In April 2002, Rancho Bernardo received unwanted media attention when one of the school's vice principals was accused of forcing students attending a school dance to lift their clothing and expose their undergarments. The district said the reason for the check was to "ensure appropriate school dress." [1] The administrator involved in this incident was later demoted to a teaching position [2].
