I am an alumna of TAG and very proud of it. TAG was fantastic in preparing me for college and the real world. From the teachers and the courses to the student creativity and intellect pumping through the halls TAG was a truly inspiring place to spend my high school years.

Great school with great staff, and even better students!

Best high school, public or private, in Texas and possibly in the country. TAG is diverse, has small classes, and challenges its students while at the same time providing personal attention as necessary to help each student excel. Two of my children attended and have had successful college careers, and my third child began 9th grade in August. All love TAG, as do I.

It gave me a top-notch education that offered excellent preparation for college. The tight-knit environment is excellent as well.

TAG has amazing classes with awesome students and dedicated teachers. Any student can talk to pretty much any other student, without fear of any form of descrimination, bullying, or nastiness. Pretty much every AP class can be taken at TAG (with a very high average passing rate), as well as several Dual Credit classes, including Computer Science II (like the old AB test) and Advanced Electronics (a circuit design course). A comparable education is offered at few other schools. In addition, the teachers at TAG work long hours, come early and stay late to tutor students and sponsor clubs, such as Math, Science, Computer Science, Lit Crit, and so on for UIL (as well as other competitions), Robotics, Mock Trial, Destination Imagination, [now] Photogrophy, as well as many other activities-- and they teach the material for classes exceptionally well. The general environment, students, and teachers make TAG an amazing place, and the best school I know of-- in my opinion.

The professors are awesome and dedicated!

It creates a diverse yet close-knit environment for students to learn from their teachers and their peers inside and outside of the classroom.

Because increase the learning of students and prepare them for great challenges also help them to increase their habilities.

Incredible school--challenging curriculum, personal attention to student's needs, small school atmosphere within a large campus and large school district. This school meets the needs of student's who are often ignored by large, urban school districts--students who are above average, who want to be challenged academically, students who are bored in a regular classroom. TAG meets these needs while fostering an attitude of support among its students. Students are competitive but not cutthroat, they help each other meet academic challenges. Teachers and staff here are dedicated to helping students achieve--they work very hard and put in many extra hours on campus to make sure that everyone succeeds.
