Prohibition Against Firearms, Weapons and Other Dangerous Objects

PROHIBITION AGAINST FIREARMS, WEAPONS, AND OTHER DANGEROUS OBJECTS: GHC maintains a "Zero Tolerance Policy" for any type of dangerous object. Therefore, school administrative directors will take immediate appropriate action against any student found in possession of a dangerous object. Dangerous objects include, but are not limited to, knives (including Swiss Army-style knives, X-Acto knives, utility knives), razor blades, martial arts combat equipment, clubs, brass knuckles, explosives, and any type of firearm or BB/Pellet gun (including replica guns). Any student who inadvertently brings an object onto campus that is prohibited should turn it in to a dean, counselor, or administrative director immediately; doing so may avoid disciplinary consequences. Pursuant to the Federal Gun Free Schools Act, and in accordance with California law, any student found in possession of a firearm shall be recommended for expulsion. Storage of any of these items in areas such as, but not limited to, lockers, purses, backpacks, or automobiles is deemed to be "in possession."
