I found this site using "san francisco unified school district" "high schools" in google:

If you need an Acrobat reader to view the documents, the software is free. Go to: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

The SFUSD page has a list of the high schools currently in San Francisco, with a historical link for each. Remember that at some point middle schools and high schools divided up the student population, so you might check both categories. Many of the neighborhood branch libraries have copies of yearbooks, though not always for all years. (And remember that not every student is in the yearbook.)

I just tried entering "high school yearbook san francisco" into eBay and got a LOT of them for sale:

In addition to the SF public schools, there were at least a dozen parochial high schools as well, many of which are now closed. You might want to try to contact the archdiocesan office for more info but I've not found them to be very responsive. Try this URL for a start: http://www.sfcatholicschools.org/schools.htm

Good luck... Linda
