GMCHS Application

Application Information

We are now accepting Applications for Fall 2008 for the new Junior class. There may be limited openings in the Senior class.

As you may know, Grossmont Middle College High School is a WASC accredited high school open by application to students living in the Grossmont Union High School District. (Students residing outside the district may attend by obtaining intra-district transfers.) While there is not a set academic requirement for admission, students must be “college capable” as reflected in grades, test scores, writing and speaking ability.

Students attend daily high school core classes in English, social science and a wide-ranging AVID study skills course (including critical thinking and preparation for college admission) in our classroom on the college campus. These courses are taught by high school instructors; juniors attend daily from 12:30 p.m. - 3:20 p.m. and seniors attend from 9:30 a.m. - 12:20 p.m. They take any remaining high school graduation requirements (such as science, math, language, etc.), and/or college general education courses, from college instructors. In addition, all of our students complete an internship related to their identified career pathway.

As students are required to complete a minimum of six college credits per semester, it is possible, depending upon a student’s level of ability and coursework completed upon entry, to earn a year or more of college credit prior to graduation from high school.

"We are delighted to have served the needs of an exceptionally diverse, creative and talented group of young people for the past five years. Over 80% of our 2008 graduates were accepted to four year universities, including Smith, Webb, and UC and CSU campuses including Berkeley, UCLA, CUSD, Pomona, and San Diego State. As in the past, a large percentage of our graduates plan to continue at Grossmont College and transfer; all have carefully thought-out plans for their future education."

Please feel free to contact us for more information or to schedule a visit to the campus. Download the GMCHS 2008-09 Application now!
