Pinole Valley High School

This was Billie Joe and Mike Dirnt’s second high school after moving from John Swett. Green Day also played an iconic show on the grounds here. Its sign celebrated Green Day as ‘Spartan Alumni’ when they were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 – despite Billie Joe’s story of handing an EP to a teacher for it to be returned with red marks all over it. The school’s current layout is not the original one.
