The school has had a fairly eventful recent history, including student protests in 1993 and 2007 that garnered attention from local media.

The campus of the school has also undergone several improvements, including the construction of a technology center to teach vocational education, and the addition of a new wing in the front of the main building to allow for more classrooms.

This schedule plan allows for further elective courses but decreases the total number of classes students may enroll in.

Other features of the campus are several storage buildings, a weight room, several greenhouses, and parking space around the school for students, teachers, and visitors.

The school operates on a rotation RTI period 30 minutes each which is when students receive remediation with their teachers.

Grayson County High School offers board-based curriculum which includes college level dual-credit and Advanced Placement courses.

Once a month, FFA, DECA, Film Club and Students Against Destructive Decisions meet at the school.

GCHS students must take the basic curriculum, including courses in Social Studies, English, Science, Math, Humanities, and Health.

There are also numerous electives offered in those subjects, such as Political Science, Microbiology, Music Theory, and Anatomy.

The Grayson County Technology Center offers various vocational classes such as Welding, Carpentry, and Marketing.

The team has seen a ray of hope in recent years, finishing the 2007 and 2008 seasons with 7-4 records and playoff appearances.
