Extra Curricular
Templeton High School is home to an outstanding band program, including a concert band, jazz band, marching band, winter drum line and winter guard. The marching band is very successful, especially for its size, numbering under 50 individuals. They placed first in their division and were overall best band in the Atascadero Colony Days Band Competition in 2009 and 2013. All the programs are unique and beneficial to both students and community.
The school mock trial team has also had a long history of success. The team has won the county competition and proceeded to state finals for 12 of the last 15 years. In 2009/2010, the team medaled at state finals in San Jose, CA and also won two first place awards for individuals.
