  • I currently go to Global High, and I love it. I came in as a Freshman and am now a Junior. I already have 31 hours of college, and all for FREE. Saving me and my parents thousands of dollars. It all pays out in the end. I'm the type of person that on Sundays, is so ready to go back to school. I love my friends and my teachers. It has always been a friendly environment and I have to say, we have been a big family. On the other hand, to be quite honest, since the school is small, there can be drama. But, it all is better in the end. In all, everyone is pretty friendly. And I absolutely love the teachers who work here. I'm going to miss everyone so much when I leave this school in the next year. It will be hard to do, but I feel so prepared for college now that I have experienced it. It has given me the tools to succeed. I LOVE WAXAHACHIE GLOBAL HIGH SCHOOL.

  • I love Global High and have been there since it first opened. We're constantly meeting new people, teachers, and students. Our school has a higher standard than WHS, and therefor we hold higher standards for ourself. This school is not all "brainiacs", as it has been pawned off to be. The college credit classes are optional, but highly beneficial. I'll be a senior next year and am less than 20 credits away from getting my associates degree!

  • Global High is made up of people who care about our children. These people are not perfect and neither is the education. If you are looking for perfection, GH is not the answer. However, if you are looking for your child to get a top notch HS education and earn free college credit at the same time, GH may be the answer. My daughter has just started her second year at Global. She loves going to school and is excited about earning college credit. She has set some demanding goals for herself, and Global is helping her to achieve them. I encourage you to check out the school on line or better yet, in person.

  • My daughter loves Global High. There is only 1 teacher that she has problems with, and so do most of the other students I have talked to. Overall though, she is very happy at this school and receiving a very good eduction. She has always been an excellent student, but tended to be lost in the crowd in larger schools. This school is helping her to reach her potential in all areas of her education!

  • My daughter has been attending Global High since it first opened. I find that she is getting a truly superior education, and the teachers do not rely solely on the results of tests to determining either my child's grade or worth. My daughter is VERY happy at Global High.
