In response to the declining COVID-19 case rates both in the community and on GHC campuses and following the recommendation of LACDPH and UCLA medical staff, beginning, Monday, September 19, indoor face masking will be strongly encouraged but no longer required on GHC campuses for students, staff, and visitors. See LACDPH Mask Wearing Rules and Recommendations for details. In certain circumstances, such as following the early release from isolation or quarantine, crowded indoor events, or if case numbers increase on campus or in the community, indoor face masking may still be required.

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. 

Our sincerest thanks go out to our families and community members. Because of you, GHC has been able to manage the ongoing coronavirus pandemic since March 2020. It is a testament to you and our staff that our focus continues to be on the growth of our students. For the moment, I ask that you turn your attention to what matters most: our students and their learning. Throughout the pandemic, the daily magic that occurs at GHC – breakthroughs in the classroom, discoveries during after-school clubs, and triumphs on the playing field – has continued to inspire and motivate me.
