It's not even June and the first of the area schools will be graduating Thursday evening. As soon as Granada went charter, they chose to move their academic calendar earlier. The kids start school in the beginning of August and finish their midterms before the holiday break in December. And when they return, it's to the second semester. And now, May 31st, they graduate. Congratulations, GHCHS grads!

They've got three full weeks now until their friends can join them sleeping in. It's during these three weeks that the Granada kids are the envy of the Valley. However, talk to them again in August when the rest of the kids are still savoring their vacations and the Granada folks are back to the day-in, day-out drudgery of classes.
