At its Monday, October 11, 2021 meeting, the GHC Governing Board approved a policy requiring an approved COVID-19 vaccination for all GHC students, age 12 and older. This policy ensures the safest learning environment for all students and aligns with local and state guidance and directives related to COVID-19 vaccination for all age-eligible students. 

Due to evolving public health conditions, beginning Monday, August 2, 2021, all staff and students, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, who are working or learning on campus must participate in ongoing weekly COVID-19 surveillance testing. This decision is in accordance with the most recent guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) and the Los Angeles Unified School District's (LAUSD) requirement for independent charter schools operating on LAUSD-owned property.

I trust this communication finds you and your family safe and healthy. With the start of the 2021-22 school year fast approaching on Thursday, August 12, 2021, I am writing to convey important health and safety reminders and updates, including required COVID-19 testing, the option to provide GHC with proof of full COVID-19 vaccination, and COVID-19 vaccination clinics on campus

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! We are busy preparing for a strong start of our 19th year as an independent charter school. Please read the following information carefully as we get ready for the first day of school on August 12, 2021. All new and returning students in grades 10, 11, and 12 must attend a mandatory grade level summer registration appointment in order to receive classes/class schedule and photo identification card, and to complete a baseline COVID-19 test.

It has been over 11 months since our campuses were closed for in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this communication is to provide you with important updates on our progress to serve some students on campus and the safety measures we have in place. Our top priority for a return to campus for some form of in-person learning remains the health and safety of our students, staff, and families.
