My experience at Granite Hills High School has been a roller coaster, an exciting one. Throughout the years I have been the student of many great teachers who truly care for their students. Granite Hills High School is located in Porterville, California and is a great looking school. It has a nice combination of colors and there is a great amount of "Grizzly Pride." Granite has a ton of opportunities for young scholars such as myself. Granite offers pathways, which basically are minature majors, that prepare students for college and beyond. Granite has great tutors and amazing coaches for students who are interested in furthering their intellectual and athletic aspirations. The staff at Granite is always genial; They care for every student and they do their best to help the students who need more attention than the rest. Granite has a great set of curricular courses ranging from honor classes to college classes and they have a great guidance office! I love Granite and I'll miss it.
GHHS has an all new and immersive experience for its learners. Our spirit club ranked overall winners in the Tulare County Highschool madness competitions , alongside our cheer squad. AP U.S History teacher ,Mrs.Navaroo, has the highest passage rate in the district . Mrs.Lewis, a foreign language teacher , also has a large passage rate for her AP Spanish learners. She is also a very capable teacher , that teaches French to our fellow Grizzlies. GHHS student council has hosted the most dances in PUSD , all happening with a large success rate and turnouts of over 120 people at every dance. Our rallies and football games are packed with spirit , you Grizzlies don’t wanna miss them. GHHS also offers pathways , the most popular being Law , Justice , and Ethics or LJE . The LJE pathway is being given a brand new building with a built in courthouse to help out the GHHS mock trial competition team. Yes a mock trial team is available to all students as an elective class!
One thing that I enjoyed about my high school experience was how all the students viewed each other as a team. Since it was a smaller school compared to the other high schools in Porterville, students were able to have a stronger connection between each other. Cheerleading was also my favorite part of the experience because it lead me to opportunities of competing against other high schools and I even got to perform at a college football stadium in Orlando Florida to represent my high school.
