Globe High School

I am a Senior at GHS and I can say, for the first time in 4 years, I enjoy going to school. I am so glad they got Dr. Richard to be the new Principal and I wish he had been the Principal the whole time I was a student. He cares about us and he wants to make sure everyone is passing their classes. He also made sure we had good teachers and finally some math teacher who care and know what they are doing. He cleaned up the school, gave it fresh paint, and just made everyone feel proud again, Yes he is strict, and you can't be late to school or anything, but it is good that way because we know he cares and wants us to learn and do well in life.

Unbelievable what has happened at Globe HS under the leadership of Dr. Tim Richard! Dr. Richard and his assistant principal have turned that school around for the better. My kid is a senior, I have had 2 others go through GHS and I can tell you that the school has been a complete dump, probably one of the worst schools in the nation for about 15 years. There was never any communication, no emphasis on achievement or academics or discipline. The place was an unsafe carnival atmosphere with many poor teachers. Enter Dr. Richard. Now there is discipline, order, organization, structure, a positive and safe atmosphere, and the kids are learning and they are loving it. Too bad many of the board members and the business manager hate Dr. Richard and the success the school is having. Typical small town Globe mindset!

As a former teacher I have to say, in all honesty, that you would be hard pressed to find a better group of students, anywhere. Once they realize that you are trustworthy, which is difficult to do with these folks since they are so used to being betrayed, you will never find a more enthusiastic, funny, interesting and motivated group of folks to teach. It was an honor & I looked foreward to seeing them every day. Everything else is most likely going to lead to a continuous decline in the education of these great kids, except for those who graduate, despite the few well meaning teachers who will come and go, as is the culture of the place. There is no changing it, but a good teacher can create an oasis for them, albeit temporary. Give the students a chance to show you how intelligent they are and how much they want to learn & your time will go quickly & effortlessly with them. As for the rest, you're on your own.

well i went to globe high school from 2001-2005 and i loved that school it was a good one had i like the teachers its hard to believe that but i did anyways yeah i miss all of my old teachers they were cool and nice to me so yeah

Haha i love how mostly only juniors get bored and look up their school. anyways i too am a junior and i like globe high school quite a bit. It offers an average academic experience. for all the people who say they didnt learn its because they didnt try. u can learn if u care. the one amazing thing about this school is teachers like mr howell, ms katy, ms miller, mr montague, mr montgomery and senor johnston. the principals are alright. i think they care about their students if nothing else. Its small enough you know who everyone is can make a lot of friends. Its a nice school.

what can i say about globe high school? it's a fairly average school all around. the teachers (overall) are the only thing about this school that is actually above average. i'm a freshman at ghs and i can already tell that with the teachers i have this year, i'm going to be watched out for-both academically and in my personal life as well. i'm actually pretty relieved that some of them care about their students rather than them being just another annoying kid that they're probably never going to see again. academically, i think they could do a lot better. for honors classes, they only have about one teacher so if you don't like that one teacher, you're pretty much out of luck if you want to stay an honors student. that is the part that really bothers me.

I currently just finished my junior year here at Globe High School and overall I would say that this school is just ... ok. Maybe a little bit less than ok. The atmosphere is pretty nice and you just about make friends with everyone, even the teachers. However, academically I think the school needs to wisen up a bit, and challenge the students more.

I used to live in Globe, and went to Globe schools my whole life. A soon as i turned 15, i knew it was time to get out of there. I knew Globe wasnt doing very much for me, not with friends, or academically. Now living in Broken Arrow, OKlahoma I found it much better academically and i pretty much love it here. Overall I thought globe had a lot of growing up to do.
