Waxahachie Global High School is an ECHS (Early College High School) within Waxahachie Independent School District enrolling approximately 150 new freshmen each year. Global is a 3A campus expecting to have about 500 students. Traditionally, 95% of our senior class graduates with a college Associate's Degree before they leave high school. We have been named a “Best High School” by U.S. News and World Report every year since 2014. We are the highest academically rated high school in Ellis County receiving an overall grade of 98 of 100 from TXschools.org and we have a 99% graduation rate.

We accept up to 150 incoming 9th graders and limit 125 in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. 

Global High School does not discriminate based on disabilities, state assessment scores, English proficiency, discipline history, race, or grade point average. Students that attend our school are often on-level students that choose us to get ahead with earning college credits. Global High School does have limited staff, in order for acceptance, we will need to work together to ensure the student will receive their services based on their individual education plan. The information collected does not improve or reduce the likelihood of being accepted. Additional applicants will be selected through a performance-blind open lottery system. The district does not accept out of district transfers. You must be zoned within the Waxahachie ISD district and show proof of residency before the time of the interview. 

We request each student write a three paragraph (5 complete sentences each) explaining why he or she would like to attend Global High School. The purpose of the interview is to discuss our expectations and confirm that attending Global is what the student wants to do. Please know, Global High School only offers advanced level classes that challenge students daily. Students will be in rigorous, higher level thinking classrooms that in most cases will be dual credit coursework and we must ensure it is the right fit for your student. 

Please drop off the following documents for each application to the campus secretary, Mrs. Fryar, or the receptionist Mrs. Contreras at the front desk: We need a copy of student's Birth Certificate, Social Security Card, Immunization Records, most recent Report Card, (current WISD students do not need to provide a report card or Immunization record) and parent Driver's License. These documents must be submitted to Waxahachie Global High before a required student interview will be scheduled. The interview does not confirm or deny acceptance.



Thank you.
