Granger High School is an academic high school, focused on college readiness. In order to support its mission to lead students to post-secondary education, Granger was awarded a $2 million dollar federal School Improvement Grant. This grant is being used to strengthen academic excellence by lowering class sizes in tenth grade math and English, providing professional support to teachers, and strengthening our honors, AP and Concurrent course offerings. In addition, Granger also holds a 21st Century Grant for after-school efforts.
Granger High School was rebuilt from 2010-2013. Groundbreaking of the new school building took place on September 17th, 2010 during halftime of the school’s homecoming game. The new building was complete and opened the fall 2013.
