Gary Independent School District

These last couple of months have zoomed by but we still want to celebrate our Elementary Students of the Month for September and October!

This morning, our High School Cheerleaders took the time to help out at the Elementary car riders line by escorting Elementary kids to the cafeteria!

💛Gary FFA makes school history💙

Yesterday members of the Gary FFA Leadership Development Teams competed at the Longview District LDE contest. These students competed against 20 other schools in our district. Next Thursday, our two Area Qualifiers will compete against the top 12 teams in Area 6 at East Texas A&M. Our teams have worked hard this year, and we couldn’t be more proud of them! If you see these students, congratulate them and give them some words of encouragement.
