Sandalwood High originally opened as a Jr.-Sr. High School, grades 7 through 12, in September of 1971 with an school-wide population of about 1100 students. The school was extremely modern for its time, with wall-to wall carpet and central heat and air conditioning. The school was divided with the Senior High classes located on the western side of the building and the Junior High classes located on the eastern side of the building. Classrooms were modular, located in sections called "Pods" (i.e.: English Pod; Math Pod; etc.)- most of the walls were movable and were able to be written on with water-removable markers. The school used different names to describe areas instead of the normal school terms of the day. The gym was called the "Field House" - The Cafeteria was called the "Dining Commons" - The Library was called the "Media Center". The modern look and feel would last for more than a decade until over-crowding (around 3000 students with the school hosting grades 9 - 12) and crime in the school made it look more like a sterile prison with metal detectors and bare tile floors.
