Helix Charter High School is a comprehensive high school, located in La Mesa, California. Helix opened in 1951 and served the community as a traditional public high school until we converted to a charter school in 1998. Helix was the first public comprehensive high school in California to convert to a charter high school, and while much about the educational program has changed to best serve the student population, the tradition of the school has remained. Helix boasts a history of academic excellence, outstanding arts, athletics, and activities and it continues to serve as a community school, while welcoming those in the surrounding areas through its charter status.
