RICH IN TRADITION AND EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

We want to welcome you to Galveston Ball High for the 2022-2023 school year. When we say "Rich in Tradition and Excellence in Education,'' one does not go without the other. In 1884, Ball High became the 2nd High School in the state of Texas and the strides that have taken place since Hurricane Ike in 2008 are phenomenal. In 2015, four small learning communities were established and as you will see in the following pages, Ball High has po­sitioned itself educationally to rival any high school in the area. In May 2016 two Houston TV stations came to Ball High after a "Lip Dub" went viral on YouTube.com that had over 60,000 hits in just a week (Click Here to View LipDub). You can see the 14-minute video I-take Lip Dub of everything that Ball High has to offer on our website. If this is your 1st year at Ball High, you will find out that "We Are Family''. And if you are graduating this year you already know why we are BALL HIGH PROUD! I CARE best describes our goal for your success this year.
