Glacier High School Charter (Glacier), located just off Highway 41,  is approximately one mile north of downtown

    Oakhurst.  Glacier was founded as a cooperative venture by parents of future students, teachers and two school

    administrators. Parents from Mountain Home Charter School (Mountain Home) desired to create a high school with

    a similar personalized learning program.  Chartered through the Yosemite Unified School District, Glacier received

    final approval for operation from the State Board of Education in June 2002.  August 19^th, 2002 was the first day of

    student attendance with sixteen students enrolled.  Glacier serves as the only charter high school in the surrounding

    mountain area. 

            A short list of our highlights include:

§         2002- Our first full time teacher

§         2003- The first Glacier graduate
