In a time before Granada became a Charter, 1972 alumnus Dr. Richard Chapleau had a meaningful student experience that would further impact his life for years to come. Father to science teacher Jeannette Chipps, Dr. Chapleau explains the impact Granada has had on his life. 

1970 Granada Hills Championship Football Team and Cheerleaders reunite at a VIP reception at the Women's Club in Granada Hills before riding and marching as the Grand Marshall in the annual parade. Our 1st place GHC Marching Band was led by our very own Mr. Joseph Cooper.

After graduating GHC in 2017, Kushagra Patel attended the University of California San Diego (UCSD) where he studied physiology and neuroscience. He went onto medical school at Rosalind Franklin University. He often felt overwhelmed by constant pressure to achieve during his education. To help others combat these feelings, he co-founded an online integrative education platform called Holistic Learning. His program offers high school students tools for personal, academic, and professional growth through 1-on-1 tutoring as well as meditation and wellness courses.

The Plaid Press will be posting alumni interviews at the end of each month. We’ve interviewed alumni from Granada’s early days through very recent graduates asking questions about their own high school experiences as well as how high school prepared them for the adult world. Our first alumnus is Wayne Adelstein.
