Helix Charter High School, located in La Mesa, California, has been proudly serving students and families since 1951. Originally founded as a traditional public high school, Helix made history in 1998 by becoming one of the first comprehensive public high schools in California to convert to charter status.

While our educational programs have evolved to meet the diverse needs of today’s students, our traditions, spirit, and commitment to excellence remain at the heart of who we are.

Helix is known for its strong academic programs, vibrant arts and athletics, and wide variety of student activities. As both a neighborhood school and a charter school, we continue to serve our local community while welcoming students from across the region who are drawn to the Helix experience.

New: Anonymous Safety & Bullying Reporting System

Helix is now using Anonymous Alerts, a confidential system that allows students to report bullying, behavioral concerns, or campus safety issues 24/7, either through a mobile app or a web-based platform. This system replaces the previous Student Safety Form and offers enhanced features, including the ability for staff to communicate anonymously with the person reporting. This two-way communication allows us to gather additional details, provide follow-up, and respond more effectively to concerns.

To get started:

  • We recommend all students download the Anonymous Alerts app on their phones if possible. They can also use this link to the web-based platform - https://tips.anonymousalerts.com/helixcharterhs/
  • Enter activation code: helixcharterhs

We appreciate your continued support in keeping our campus safe and welcoming for everyone.
