Achievement Academy at Garland High School

Achievement Academy history

During the fall of 2005, administrators at GHS became aware of the fact that many students were unhappy and facing various struggles. They were experiencing continuous problems with attendance, grades, campus discipline, and more importantly, they were having problems at home with their parents. The students wanted to get out of this cycle, but they did not have the skills needed to solve their problems. They were tired of the stress at home and at school. Parents and educators wanted the same thing. GHS administrators and teachers accepted the challenge to help students turn their lives around.
