GHS COUNSELING WEBPAGE
Thank you for visiting the GHS Counseling webpage! Please use the links on the left to find valuable information for parents and students. Announcements and upcoming events can be found below. Counselors are currently working remotely and can be reached by telephone or email between 8am-3:00pm. Students and parents may also schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor via Zoom.
Welcome back Foothillers! While there have been some changes to what we have come to expect from a typical school day, our staff are working hard to prepare for a great school year. Detailed plans can be found on the home page of this website and at www.guhsd.net.
Please click on the Grossmont Resource Center link to the left for additional resources to help your family during this challenging time.
STUDENT SCHEDULES
Students may access their tentative schedules by logging into Infinite Campus. If there is an error in your schedule, you may contact your counselor via email. However, we are not able to make changes in electives or preferred teachers. As we are still balancing class sizes, schedules may change before school begins. Please be sure to log back in on Mon., August 10th to view your actual schedule!

The Upward Bound program is currently accepting freshmen and sophomores who are low-income and/or will be the first generation in their family to earn a bachelor's degree.
