从加州州立大学申请的可用学校列表中准确地找到你的高中是非常重要的. 这样做将确保更顺利的申请过程，使你更容易完成高中课程部分.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when using the High School search:

• When searching by the school's address, do not use the city or zip code where you live; always use the school's address.
  • For example: Although many students from the city of Monterey Park, CA attend Mark Keppel High School, the school is located in Alhambra, CA. If these students search for a school in Monterey Park, they will not find their high school. They must search for the high school in Alhambra.
• If searching by city, do not abbreviate.
  • For example: "Los Angeles" should not be entered as "LA".
• If you can't find your school by location, you may also search by the College Board's CEEB code. 你也可以查看你学校的网站，或者向你的指导顾问咨询你高中的CEEB代码.
