Christmas may be on all of our minds but Gary ISD's next big celebration will be Homecoming week, January 7th-10th! Check out our Homecoming dress up days from the Gary HS cheerleaders, and be sure to come out loud and proud for our Homecoming Pep-Rally on Friday, January 10th at 1PM for our second Lip Sync Battle competition! That night, we will crown our Homecoming King and Queen, then take on Joaquin starting at 5PM, with Saturday capping off the festivities with our Homecoming dance!
Save the date, on January 3rd we will have a Future Lady Cat event to celebrate all Elementary and Junior High girls that are interested in playing basketball in High School! The game starts at 6PM and we will have a little 'surprise' for all the girls who attend after the game ends! We hope to see all of you future Lady Cats there!

"Participating in the GAP program at Gary High School has been a life changing experience for me. [I had to] set goals and stay focused to complete the program and GAP has helped me to achieve my career goals by finishing my education early."
Bryan Robles is our latest GAP graduate at Gary High School. We are very proud of his hard work and the success he had in the program. We look forward to seeing what he will do next out in the world!
The next Gary 4-H meeting will be on Monday, December 16th at 6PM in the GISD Cafeteria!

Parents, check out the flyer for the schedule of when students will be performing at tomorrow's Festival of Lights! The document also has a reminder of what students should wear.
We apologize, but it looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate for the parade this year, but all the rest of the Festival of Lights events will still be going on starting at 9AM!
The weather might be a little gloomy on Saturday, but that's not stopping our Festival of Lights celebration! The venue is just being moved to the HS Gym on Saturday, December 7th from 10am-4pm! Weather permitting, the parade will still happen around 6!
