You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The school is a member of the [[Advanced Placement|AP program]], the [[IB program]], and is known for its [[American football|football]] team, the Garland Owls.

==History==

Garland High School was founded in 1902,<ref>[http://www.garlandhistorical.org/schoolsports_photos.html garlandhistorical.org] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122052440/http://www.garlandhistorical.org/schoolsports_photos.html |date=2008-11-22 ))</ref><ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=56 |title=Garland ISD: School Spirit & History<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2009-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226224635/http://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=56 |archive-date=2017-02-26 |url-status=dead ))</ref> and was established in the former Garland College. Around 1912 the building was expanded and renovated.<ref>Himmelreich, Paul. ''Garland'' (Images of America). [[Arcadia Publishing]], 2014. ((ISBN|1467132268)), 9781467132268. p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=rmn_AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA81 81].</ref>

It is the oldest of the [[Garland Independent School District|district's]] high schools, having celebrated its 100-year anniversary in the 2001–2002 school year. The school celebrated its 70th anniversary at the ''current'' location (referring to the current building) in the 2006–2007 school year. Garland High School is also the Arts Magnet for the District with its Performing Arts Endorsement Program, and also renowned for its International Baccalaureate program.

[[File:Crowd outside Garland High School auditorium (1912).jpg|thumb|Garland High School began classes in the 1902–1903 academic year. Operating in the old Garland College building on the west side of 9th Street between Avenues A & B, the faculty offered primary, intermediate, high school and college-level instruction. Civic convocations were held in the auditorium, which accommodated crowds like the one shown here ca. 1912.<ref name="garlandhistorical.org">[http://www.garlandhistorical.org/schoolsports_photos.html Garland Landmark Society – Photo Gallery – Schools Sports Entertainment<!-- Bot generated title -->] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081122052440/http://www.garlandhistorical.org/schoolsports_photos.html |date=2008-11-22 ))</ref>]]

The film ''[[WUSS]]'' was shot at Garland High, as well as the 2016 LGBT-Comedy film “[[Hurricane Bianca]]”, starring drag queen [[Bianca Del Rio]].<ref>Wiklonsky, Robert.

==Campus==

((Asof|2014)), certain agricultural and athletic programs are held off-campus since there is insufficient space to house them. The current GHS campus was built in 17 distinct pieces.<ref name=LeszcynskiRStep>Leszcynski, Ray.

==Academic programs==

The school attracts many students from around the city because of its variety of rigorous academic programs such as the [[IB program]] and long history.

===International Baccalaureate===

((Main|IB Diploma Programme))
The IB Program is a two-year educational program available to eleventh and twelfth grade students attending Garland High School. This program, following standard IB policies, requires a schedule of six academic subjects both years (English, history, language, math, science, and the additional sixth subject) as well as a Theory of Knowledge class junior year.

Other programs that can be taken alone (meaning the student is not an IB student) but count as IB classes are IB Art and IB Theatre.

*IB Art - Students study art and design and are evaluated towards their final years on the merits of their Investigation Workbooks or art portfolio. This is followed by an art show and allows for students to independently evaluate themselves during the process.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=1564 |access-date=February 19, 2009 ))((dead link|date=May 2016|bot=medic))((cbignore|bot=medic))</ref>

===School of Performing Arts===

(As of the 2018-19 school year, the Performing Arts Endorsement (PAE) has changed into the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (AVAPA) program.)

The School of Performing Arts was approved by the GISD School Board. Graduates of the School of Performing Arts receive the Performing Arts Endorsement, sequence of courses designed for the artistically gifted/talented student and offers the opportunity to concentrate on the Performing Arts and gain proficiency in chosen areas of concentration during the high school years, much as a Music or Theatre Major does in college.

Upon completion of the prescribed course of study, a Performing Arts Endorsement (PAE) shall be awarded to the student. This endorsement will accompany their official transcript, along with an explanation of the endorsement and its criteria, and will become applicable to university study or future professional endeavors. The Performing Arts Endorsement has been reviewed by both university and secondary administration. It has received praise for both its inclusiveness and its practicality.

The School of Performing Arts was replaced in 2018 by the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts program. This program expands upon endorsements and allows visual arts to also receive credit, as the Performing Arts Endorsement only applied to performance arts, including film.

====Performing Arts Endorsement Types====
*Instrumental - Band
*Instrumental - Orchestra
*Vocal Music
*Piano Performance
*Theatre Arts - Performance
*Theatre Arts- Technical
*Classical Guitar
*Film

Note that IB Theatre and PAE are two different things but may also be done concurrently.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=1561 |title=Performing Arts Faq |access-date=2009-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417113801/http://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=1561 |archive-date=2016-04-17 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

==Athletics==
Garland High School has one of the most profound legacies of any school in its district, with its football team having won several state championships during its lifetime. In addition to football, Garland High School offers baseball, basketball, cross country, Dashing Debs (also known as the Drill Team), golf, gymnastics, marching band, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball. Garland was part of the UIL Class 5A for the 2013–2014 school year, but has been reclassified under UIL Class 6A Region 2 District 11 for the 2014–2015 school year and beyond.
