Grossmont Middle College High School

There are a few things students should review as they matriculate:

GMCHS students are all ambassadors of our very special school. We are all guests on the college campus and comport ourselves appropriately at all times. We expect students to be college capable, independent and self-motivated. We provide students the venue; it’s up to them to make use of it. This is a great opportunity, but it is still school.

GMCHS students are members of an exceptionally diverse cohort. While we may be very different from each other, we always treat each other with respect. 

Being a part of Middle College is a commitment until graduation.

Students should be certain that they can commit for the entire time.    This isn’t an early out school. It is an early in school. Providing entry to college up to two years ahead of most students.  

This is the only school in the district that requires an application process. Students want to be here and must continue to strive to stay here.

Personal Development Course is offered by the college (Counseling 120) and we strongly recommend them, especially if you have had any difficulty with time management, study skills, etc. 

The Middle College daily schedule has some flexibility by design. (Some students prefer earlier classes and some schedule extra time for sports or participation in the arts.) Please be aware that students put in very full days.

To remain in Good Standing students must: 

• complete at least six college units each semester

• earn satisfactory grades (no D or F grades) in all high school and college courses

• attend regularly and promptly (missed days and/or tardies must be made up).

By the time GMCHS students graduate, they should have completed a minimum of 24 college credits, many of which will transfer over to a four year university; some students earn 30 or more college credits in two years. 

GMCHS has been honored by national educational organizations, appeared on television and in newspaper and magazine articles, and earned the highest API in GUHSD. 

We are proud of the accomplishments of all of our students and look forward to their success in Middle College.
