Steve Jobs Homestead High

The area of the Los Altos home implied that Jobs would have the capacity to go to Homestead High School in (and with solid connections to) Silicon Valley. He started his first year there in late 1968 alongside Fernandez. Neither Jobs nor Fernandez (whose father was a legal advisor) originated from building families and in this manner chose to enlist in John McCollum's "Gadgets 1." McCollum and the insubordinate Jobs (who had developed his hair long and end up noticeably associated with the developing counterculture) would in the end conflict and Jobs started to lose enthusiasm for the class. He likewise had no enthusiasm for sports and would later say that he didn't have what it took to "be an athlete. I was dependably a loner."

He experienced a change amid mid-1970: "I got stoned out of the blue; I found Shakespeare, Dylan Thomas, and all that great stuff. I read Moby Dick and backpedaled as a lesser taking experimental writing classes." Jobs likewise later noted to his official biographer that "I began to tune in to music a mess, and I began to peruse more outside of just science and innovation—Shakespeare, Plato. I adored King Lear ... when I was a senior I had this incredible AP English class. The instructor was this person who resembled Ernest Hemingway. He took a cluster of us snowshoeing in Yosemite." From that point, Jobs created two unique friend networks: the individuals who were associated with hardware and designing and the individuals who were keen on craftsmanship and literature. These double interests were especially reflected amid Jobs' senior year as his closest companions were Wozniak and his first sweetheart, the imaginative Homestead junior Chrisann Brennan.

In 1971 after Wozniak started going to University of California, Berkeley, Jobs would visit him there a couple of times each week. This experience drove him to examine in adjacent Stanford University's understudy union. Occupations likewise chose that as opposed to join the hardware club, he would put on light shows with a companion for Homestead's cutting edge Jazz program. He was portrayed by a Homestead schoolmate as "sort of a cerebrum and sort of a radical ... yet, he never fit into either gathering. He was sufficiently keen to be a geek, however wasn't geeky. What's more, he was excessively learned for the flower children, who simply needed to get squandered constantly. He was somewhat of an outcast. In secondary school everything rotated around what amass you were in. what's more, on the off chance that you weren't in a deliberately characterized gathering, you weren't anyone. He was a person, in reality as we know it where independence was suspect." By his senior year in late 1971, he was taking rookie English class at Stanford and taking a shot at a Homestead underground film venture with Chrisann. In mid-1972, after graduation and before leaving for Reed College, Jobs and Brennan leased a house from their other flat mate, Al. During the mid year, Brennan, Jobs, and Steve Wozniak found a commercial posted on the De Anza College announcement load up for an occupation that expected individuals to take on the appearance of characters from Alice in Wonderland. Brennan depicted Alice while Wozniak, Jobs, and Al depicted the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter.
