The Class of 2030 will be hosting the Cake Walk and Outdoor Activities for our Fall Festival on Saturday, October 31st! Come out to the high school media center starting at 6pm and try your luck on winning one of the fabulous cakes or treats graciously donated by the families of Gary ISD! There will be a special selection available through a silent auction during the night as well. Outside, guests can enjoy a fun barrel train ride or take a chance to get through our maze!
This afternoon, Gary ISD implemented a "hold" due to an incident involving a combative parent at the elementary. A hold is a safety procedure that limits movement throughout the building while school staff and/or law enforcement address a situation.
Sheriff’s deputies were already on campus and responded quickly. At no point were students or staff in danger.
The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. We appreciate the quick response of our local law enforcement and the cooperation of our school community.

Thank you for your support!

Senior Delayna Higginbotham has been working in Mrs. Ogg’s sewing CAT time and over summer on this beautiful quilt! She picked out the fabrics and drew up the plans and they worked together to bring her vision to life. Delayna learned new skills through this process, including using new tools, piecing the quilt top and she even free motion quilted it together. She added details through stitches that look like wood grain and rays of light, and she was even able to “sign” it!
Culinary Arts has enjoyed learning the process of pasta making this week! They started by making marinara sauce, using herbs from their garden. Then spent a day hand making pasta dough, and a day rolling, cutting, cooking and assembling their dish.
