Several of our Gary students participate in rodeo events throughout the school year and summer.
These events enrich the lives of athletes by preserving our western heritage through the sport of rodeo, promoting family values, and providing future opportunities through college scholarships. Along with buckles, banners, and saddles, students are able to collect prize money at each rodeo.
Gary students competing in rodeo events are: Braley Weems, Emorie Comer, McCade Reaves, Bryce Reaves and Kaison Holloway.
We would like to congratulate these students on earning huge successes throughout the year and wish them good luck as they travel across the country participating in a variety of events like: barrel racing, pole bending, tie down roping, goat trying, breakaway roping and more!
Mrs. Bryan, 5th/6th grade Social Studies teacher at Gary Elementary and Ms. Shadix, Agriscience Teacher at Gary High School teamed up for a special project!
