Garden City High School is the only high school located in Garden City, Michigan. The athletic teams are known as the Cougars. There are approximately 1,800 students enrolled. The colors are Orange and Blue.

It is believed that the teachers here are inadequate while others are exceptional. For instance, Mrs. Gala is said to be a wonderful teacher with interesting lesson plans.

Just a bit of history....Garden City East (the current location of Garden City High School) and Garden City West consolidated during the 1982-1983 school year, to become Garden City High School at the current location. Prior to this consolidation, Garden City East was known as the Panthers with the colors blue and white. Garden City West was known as the Tigers and were black and orange. When the 2 schools consolidated, one color was used from each school to form the new school colors of blue & orange and a new mascot, cougars, were chosen. The senior classes went from approximately 300 students at each school, to a total of a little over 600 students in the graduating class of 1983. At that time, with the coming together of the 2 school staffs, it made the school even better, academically. I know that I was prepared well and went on to successfully earn a BA as well as an MA at one of the Universities in Michigan. I don't know how things are now, but I was appreciative of my education.
