Glendora High School

All 4 of my children have attended GHS and the education is rigorous and prepares students well for college. I, myself, am an educator and I recognize the quality of the programs at GHS. Kudos to GUSD for realizing that every child counts!

With the new addition of the Event center, theater, updating the pool and fresh coat of paint GHS has improved on its physical appearence. Lacking is still a cafeteria and necessary track/field/football /baseball upgrades! Finally having a steady principal has been a plus. Great councelors, sports programs, music and pretty good staff.Special needs/Disable kids treated very well.

The music program is one of the best in the area. Caring and excellent staff.

My son also was one who was promoted up grades with F's. Despite my attempts at discussing his needs with the counselors and teachers, it became apparent that there was no 'team' learning environment anymore at GHS. While there are always exceptions (and GHS does have a few good teachers and administrators), my child was definitely one of those left behind. What a decline in education excellence from my day!

Declining enrollment is a major issue impacting funding. New teachers are hired as temporary to the detriment of the students and teacher morale. This school's strength is its band and art programs. Sports are abundant. The campus is open and beautifully landscaped. The majority of the students are wonderful as well as most of the teachers. Special needs students are well served by Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Pollard. All students are encouraged to enroll in college and to do their best. Glendora High School has some excellent opportunities for all students who choose to follow the rules and apply themselves. Robin Huntington

My children had been at a private school through 8th grade and then came to GHS as Freshman. We have absolutely loved every thing about GHS. They offer AP classes that have continued to challenge my children as well as sports, choir and band. The Administration, teachers, parents and other students have been friendly and helpful. My youngest will start GHS in September and we couldn't be happier.

The school is excellent, the senior class is academically the smartest class to graduate in Glendora's history. I have not yet met one teacher who did not want their students to succeed, and as far as I am concerned every teacher encourages academic excellence and they are always willing to help. Glendora High is definitely not lacking parent and teacher involvement, for the most part. There are always the few parents who just don't care about their kids enough to make any effort and simply blame their problems on staff members and 'rich' students.

I am a 15-year-old girl who is going to GHS. All my life until this year I have been home-schooled. The school has a really clean and friendly environment. The amazing teachers are the best part of the school. Mrs. Fallon, Mr. Wingerd, and Mr. Mair, Ms. Bell, Dr. Trevor, and Mrs. Trimble are the teachers I have had this year, and they are all awesome! I commute all the way from Orange County, but it is worth it. I would definitely recommend this school.

I totally disagree about Glendora High School lacking support of students with special needs. Not only did GHS help my autistic son greatly, he was weaned of Adaptive P.E., found a love for physical education and graduated with a very decent GPA. He never needed RSP while at GHS because his teachers were dedicated and knew their stuff! I transferred my son from a neighboring district where I worked. This district had more RSP and Special Needs students than Glenora has, but my son was either ignored or persecuted. I love GHS and would recommend it to any and everyone who cares about their child's future. By the way, I am not at all rich, many children who attend GHS are not from rich families. It is sad that so many people think that is so.
