Galax High School focuses on preparing students for post secondary education. The teachers there prepared me for a successful career in the field of education. This past year, the Galax boys basketball team and the golf team both won state championships! Other extra curricular activities are also provided for students who dislike athletics.

This school is very dull. Too much focus on sports, and an air-head principle.
