Fact text

  • Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt of Green Day both attended Pinole Valley High School, punk rock royalty from a quiet Bay Area suburb.
  • Heisman Trophy winner Gino Torretta also went to Pinole Valley High School, making it arguably the most overachieving high school in California.
  • The city's name comes from the Spanish word for 'cornmeal', a surprisingly tasty origin story.
  • Thrash metal legend Gary Holt of the band Exodus calls Pinole home, giving the sleepy bedroom community serious rock credentials.
  • More than half of Pinole's total area is covered by water, so the city is technically more bay than land.
