Principal's Message
Greetings and thank you for visiting our webpage:
At Godinez Fundamental High School, we offer ALL students a rigorous, relevant, and coherent standards-based curriculum that supports the achievement of the academic standards, college and career-readiness standards, and school-wide learner outcomes. Also, we offer students the opportunity to earn college and high school credit simultaneously, through our dual enrollment early college program. This year, we received the prestigious designation of California Distinguished School from the State Superintendent's Office!
This year, 2026-27, we are committed to continuing to build on last year's successes. Here are just a few:
- 97 seniors, or 25% of the graduating class, earned a GPA of 4.0 or higher.
- 146 seniors, or 37% of the graduating class, earned a GPA between 3.00 and 3.99.
- Of the district’s top 100 graduating seniors, 24 were from Godinez.
- 130 seniors passed two or more college courses, and 100% of the Class of 2026 participated in Senior Interviews.
- A record number of students were reclassified as proficient in English.
- With only eight suspensions among 1,632 students, Godinez had the lowest suspension rate in the district.
