Granada High School is a high school located 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 is the 'rival' school of Granada HS. The name "Granada" is a Spanish word meaning "pomegranate," and the school newspaper is called "The Pomegranate."
The block system: Granada's vision has been to make every student an Active Learner. This goal is achieved by employing a 'block' 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. 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.
In the last year, responding to State pressure, Granada has increased the length of all blocks and restricted the number of possible blocks to seven. An extra class, Seminar, is also required for all students.
Athletics: Granada High School has teams in 15 sports: Swimming, Diving, Track, Waterpolo, Basketball, Cross Country, Baseball, Football, Golf, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Volleyball, Lacrosse, and Wrestling. These teams compete in the North Coast Section CIF (NCS) and East Bay Athletic League (EBAL).
