Dual Enrollment is a great option for students for many reasons:
1. Builds confidence in their ability to complete a college level class
2. GPA boost
3. Receive high school elective credit (if needed)
4. Receive college credit (all college classes become part of your permanent college transcript)
There are a few options that we recommend:
1. General Education
Taking classes that fulfill the college level general education requirements is a great place to start. This will put you ahead when you enter into your first year of college. We recommend you take general education courses from the Cal-GETC approved courses.
Cal-GETC is a series of courses that prospective transfer students from California Community Colleges may use to satisfy the lower-division/general education breadth requirements at both the California State University and the University of California.

2. Enrichment Activities
Take classes that are not offered at GSHS that will expand your knowledge of different activities (e.g., film or kickboxing!).
3. Career Exploration
Take a class that is not offered at GSHS that will help you learn about a particular career path you are interested in
