• Overview

Green Hope High School is a school in Cary, North Carolina, serving grades 9-12. In 2006, approximately 2,044 students attended according to the WCPSS page, and with a 95% graduation rate, about 530 seniors graduated. Green Hope High is one of the most acclaimed schools in North Carolina and is regarded as one of the best public high schools in Wake County due to its numerous awards received. It is considered as one of the most competitive high schools in the state with students taking large numbers of Advanced Placement Courses. It consistently has large amounts of students that attend premier universities like NC State, Duke, and UNC Chapel Hill as well as Ivy League schools. It was ranked as the 206th best high school according to the 2011 Newsweek Rankings of Top US High Schools. GHHS opened its doors in 1999, drawing only freshmen and sophomore students from neighboring overcrowded schools. It added a grade level for the two subsequent years and graduated its first senior class in 2002. It is located next to its sister school, Green Hope Elementary School, which is at an adjacent campus. Both schools are operated by Wake County Public School System. The site also features a tennis facility operated by the Town of Cary. ^[1]

A recent growth in student population resulted in an off-site "9th Grade Annex" roughly 1/2 mile from the main campus. In the 2006-2007 school year, the 9th Grade Annex was turned into Carpenter Elementary to accommodate the rising number of students in Wake County. ^[1]

The school mascot is the Green Hope Fighting Falcon; a statue of one graces the school's western lawns. ^[1]
