GHS is a great high school for Granbury students. They have a huge array of classes for your child to choose from through their CTE (Career & Technical Education) program! They are focused on helping your student prepare for life in the real world, whether they are thinking of going to college, a tech school and getting right into the work force. Their Honors/AP courses have some truly outstanding teachers and will provide your student with an opportunity to really challenge themselves. Their regular courses are amazing and there are so many opportunities for extra activities like sports, band, etc... Teachers usually keep in touch through progress reports, report cards and will generally communicate any additional information you or your student might need to know. Their campus is large, clean and airy - it's beautifully designed and most classrooms have ample space. Just like other schools - the halls are pretty crowded walking to and from classes, but that's just par for the course at most schools here. The doors open early and your student can com early if they want to hang out with friends, have breakfast and study for classes together. So far, my son is enjoying his time here, making more friends daily and truly appreciates all the teachers and staff here. It's clear to me that they all are working extremely hard to make sure their students have all the support they need to make it through high school and into the real world. I'm also happy to see their security team so actively helping on campus in mornings and afternoons (traffic can be a nightmare, but it would be totally unmanageable without their amazing team). All in all, GHS is a wonderful high school and if you stay active and involved in your child's education, they can thrive here!

I attended GMS for one year in 2023-2024 as a 6th grader, and I was a victim of HEAVY bullying, however when school administrators were alerted, they were more concerned about me asking my friend on a note if she "had any scars with a cool backstory" (was not related to SH at at) I had to sit through lectures that could have been used with bullying. Students also brought knives and weapons to school with little to no repercussions.

Due to the lack of cooperation by the School Counselor (would not provide her name, despite being asked), Principal, Lacey Padgett (was told she will not talk to me or work with me), the Superintendent, Courtney Morawski (was told by the secretary that she will never be available for a meeting), and Brandon Hall (didn't even get a response), I'd have to say it's one star for me.
