🐷✨ Houston Livestock Show Success! ✨🐷

This past week, four of our Gary FFA members represented us at the Houston Livestock Show exhibiting their market barrows!

We are so proud of Braylon Seals, Case Rabon, Jake Stephenson, and Aiden Laney for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to their projects 👏

These students did an outstanding job representing Gary FFA with class all week long! 💙💛

If you see them, be sure to congratulate them on a job well done! 🎉🐖

We are proud of everyone that tried out for the 2026-2027 cheerleaders! The tryouts are complete and we are excited to announce who will be in our Junior High and Varsity teams!

Tomorrow's Varsity Baseball game at Garrison will now start at 4PM.

At our Daddy Daughter dance last Saturday, we had a photographer taking pictures of all the families throughout the event. In fact, she took so many, there is no way to properly share them on here! If you would like to see the photos, they have all been uploaded to the following link; https://tinyurl.com/GESDaughters2026

This Friday's baseball games at Garrison will be Varsity only, and will start at 6PM, we hope to see you there!

This afternoon, our Elementary Student Lighthouse team, JH and HS Leadership team and National Honor Society students all worked together to help clean up FM 2260! Thanks to their hard work, we gathered over 15 bags of trash in less than a mile area. Huge thank you to Mrs. Clabaugh for driving the bus and for Mrs. Lake and Mrs. Daniels helping the students with the pickup!

It's great to see our students using the 7 habits to be great leaders at Gary Elementary, and our latest Habit Hero is Kamden! Kamden helped a friend gather their belongings while they were throwing away trash. By thinking win-win, he was able to get their tasks done quicker so they could get started on their next class!

Congratulations to our Elementary Students of the Month for February! We are proud of your hard work and leadership!

On last Friday's baseball game, Coach Colley achieved his 300th career win! Congratulations Coach Colley, we are thankful for your hard work and dedication to our players here at Gary High School!

Just one more slight change in the schedule for tomorrow's baseball games at Joaquin; the JV game will now start at 5PM and the Varsity game should start at 7PM!

Mrs. Solomon's Biology students got to enjoy a 'sweet' lab project this week by working on candy DNA strands!

Congratulations to our latest Elementary Habit Heroes, Lynnden and Reagan! Lynnden was a leader by taking charge and walking correctly in the hallway to encourage her peers to do the same and Reagan has worked hard to synergize with her classmates by teaming up with her others to clean in the Library so everyone can enjoy their time there!

Gary Elementary parents, we just want to remind everyone that all students must be dropped off at the back of the Elementary to enter through the Cafeteria every morning. For safety reasons, we ask that parents only bring their students at the front of the school after 7:55AM. Thank you for helping keep our students safe!

Just a reminder, our annual book fair will be coming soon on March 23 through March 26, and we need volunteers to help a couple days prior, during, and after!
