Yesterday, our US History students went to the Holocaust Museum in Dallas with Mrs. Umbrell.
Our seniors are special and have worked hard to finish strong at Gary High School. Particularly, we have three graduates that went above and beyond to earn an Associate degree at Panola College! These three, in addition to their regular high school coursework, completed over 60 hours each in college courses, often during breaks and during the summer. We are incredibly proud of their effort and determination, and can't wait to see them succeed at the university level!
Congratulations to Aubrey Kennedy, Keeghan Roberts, and Makayla Woodfin for earning your Associate degree at Panola College!
We appreciate our wonderful nurses at Gary ISD!

Gary FFA held its annual end of the year banquet on Monday, May 6th, but for some of our members, the competition year isn’t over yet!
Tuesday, May 7th McKenzie Coleman and Caitlynn Ayers traveled to the Longview FFA District Speaking Contest in Henderson to present their “prepared speeches” to judges (Ag Teachers from across the district) in hopes of advancing to the Area Competition.
MCKENZIE DID JUST THAT!! SHE HAS ADVANCED TO THE AREA CONTEST!!
As a freshman, McKenzie has researched an Agricultural topic that interests her (methane gas production and tracking), wrote and memorized a 7 minute speech including facts, how it relates to her locally, how it affects the world globally, and has studied for possible questions to be asked over the topic.
There are 23 schools in our FFA District and those schools can enter several students in each category.
MCKENZIE WAS 2nd OVERALL!!
Caitlynn placed 5th in her division and we are extremely proud of her hard work also!
We are excited about this accomplishment and can’t wait to see what McKenzie does at Area on Saturday, May 18th.
As we get closer to the end of the year, we want to have a moment to spotlight the seniors and our kindergartners! Our senior walk at the Elementary will be this Thursday at 9AM!
The seniors got the high school good today! They also let everyone know this was their parking lot! 🤣
