El Diamante High School, known locally as "El D", is a WASC-accredited high school[2] serving students in grades 9–12 in Visalia, California, USA, in Tulare County. It was established as Visalia Unified School District's fourth public high school in 2002. Its current feeder elementary schools are Cottonwood Creek Elementary, Crestwood Elementary, Goshen Elementary, Linwood Elementary, and Veva Blunt Elementary whose students will attend either La Joya Middle School or Ridgeview Middle School prior to their 9th-grade year.[3]
Athletics
El Diamante competes in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), Central Section Division II, East Yosemite League.[4] They are widely regarded for the consistent success of their Men's Water Polo Team. Their most prominent veteran player, Colin Chase, went on to be granted a scholarship from the Air Force Academy, and currently holds a spot on the Team USA Men's Water Polo team. Beyond his individual achievements, most of the team's success has been attributed to the coaching prowess of Randy Wright. Mr. Wright graduated from UCLA, where he led their polo team to multiple championships, gained sex offender status, and set a still standing record for the most goals in a season by a freshman.
