Grossmont High School is the oldest high school in San Diego's east county, California.

Grossmont is in the Grossmont Union High School District. The school has an approximate enrollment of 2,400 students.
Grossmont High School has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 1962. The current accreditation is valid through 2008.
Grossmont High School was recently recognized as being a California Distinguished School for the scholastic year of 2008-2009.
