Granada High School (California)
Granada High School is a high school located at 400 Wall Street in Livermore, California. Established in 1963, it is part of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD). Granada was established as the town's second public high school in response to significant population growth in the 1960s. Livermore High School was the first high school in Livermore, and rivals Granada. Granada High School has recently gone through some major renovations. During the spring quarter of 2008, the brand new science wing opened. The science center has 14 state-of-the-art classrooms. A media and library center also opened in 2008. The multimedia center is open daily from 7:30a.m. to 4:30p.m.; it has computers and books for students to utilize. The name Granada is a Spanish word meaning pomegranate. The school's official newspaper was "El Toro" and now is called "The Pomegranate." The school mascot is a matador.
==Academics==
Granada High School's academic objective is to transform every student into an active learner. The goal is achieved partially through the use of a block-style scheduling system in which students may construct and arrange their blocks as they choose. This differs from the traditional system in that students may select as many as six full-sized blocks at the beginning of the year, but can only have three of them at once with each class 'block' being twice the length of the tradition period. Halfway through the school year, students will swap blocks. An optional seventh block is available upon request, and if given to students, may or may not be held all year long. If it is an academic class it will most likely be one semester but if it is music class like band, orchestra, or choir it is more likely to be a year long. Note that Granada was subject of a unique program in the late sixties through the 1970s entitled TUFOLD or Time Utilization for Optimum Learning Development.
The school has recently increased the length of all classes and restricted the number of courses each student can take per year to seven. An additional advisory period, frequently referred to as seminar, has also been added as a requirement for all students.
However, when the new school year started in 2008, the schedule changed from the block system to the trimester system. The classes as a result are shorter, and each trimester is 12 weeks long rather than the 9 weeks of the block system. The schedule was changed to allow for more opportunities for students to take elective courses; for more flexibility in meeting student scheduling needs (students can attend periods 1-5, 2-5, 1-4, or 1-3), depending on their post-high school goals and extracurricular commitment; to allow for slower pacing in math classes; and to shorten class periods from 90 minutes to 70 minutes.
