Waxahachie Global High School
Waxahachie Global High School is a high school in Waxahachie, Texas, founded in 2007 on the historic T.C. Wilemon campus. It is one of only 91 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) academies in the state of Texas.〔http://tea.texas.gov/About_TEA/News_and_Multimedia/Press_Releases/2014/TEA_designates_16_new_T-Stem_Academies/〕 It was additionally granted Early College High School status in 2009 through a partnership with Navarro College, allowing students to earn an associate degree along with their high school diploma. Recently, as of the start of the 2013-2014 school year, Global High made a partnership with UT Tyler for all the stem based college courses offered at Global. As a public charter school, students from Ellis County and surrounding areas can attend regardless of zoning. Many students commute from surrounding cities such as Waxahachie, Red Oak, Ennis, Maypearl, Midlothian, Palmer, Italy, Cedar Hill, and Desoto.

Housed in the T.C. Wilemon campus built in 1917, Global High consists of three levels. A postcard preserved by the McGovern Library hints that the building was originally designed in 1913 to become a sanitarium, a plan that fell through (the building was instead erected inside of a house near the Chautauqua, on the site of what is now Baylor Hospital). The original 1920s wooden flooring is preserved on the second floor and in the auditorium, and the exterior still boasts the original stonework, including an engraved pediment and entrance columns. The architectural aspects of Global's exterior have been richly debated by students and staff alike, and it has been concluded that the building is primarily Federal style, with trace elements of Greek Revival and Split Level stylings. Two additions have been made to the building since its construction. In the mid-1930s, a gym was built as part of the "recovery" portion of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in an effort to create jobs during the Great Depression. Though the floor has been replaced, original wooden bench bleachers remain from the early construction. In the 1960s, the science wing was added through generous private donations. Laminate flooring, a low and long shape, and glass curtain walls and windows set this wing apart from the main building. Over the years, the building has served as the town's primary high school (until 1970), an alternative school, a primary school, and an administrative center interspersed with several years of abandonment before becoming Global.
