  • Develop projects that involve alumni such as campus improvement, booster activities, and classroom volunteers. 
  • Act as a resource for the school in providing speakers, volunteers, job shadows, and funding.
  • Work with the GHC Excellence Fund to raise money for student scholarships, school grants, and athletic, art and academic programs.

The Excellence Fund

Our Legacy, Their Future

The Excellence Fund helps our students and staff achieve great things. At GHC, we have a goal to elevate our enrichment opportunities for students during these challenging times. Our students have had to sacrifice so much by being isolated from their peers and our goal is ensure our students have the resources they need. Contributions support the operating budget of Granada Hills Charter High School and enable us to offer the high standard of education required to prepare students for life. Since becoming an independent charter school in 2003, we have used our resources to distinguish ourselves as a leader in public education.
