Student in Culinary Arts classes kicked off the Fall season with a little 'Crab' Apple celebration!
Students in Mr Shadix’s Ag mechanics classes have been working hard to get the livestock trailer road worthy! They learned simple tasks like how to properly check the air pressure in the tires - and then fill them to the proper PSI. They learned about trailer wiring, the proper tools and ways to diagnose issues with the wiring. They also replaced all the lights on the trailer, learned to read the fuse box diagram and find a blown fuse on the Ag truck! These lessons will stick with them for years to come! Next week the trailer will be sent off for a new tarp!
Congratulations to our latest Habit Heroes; Liam and Jonah! Liam was thinking win-win when he recognized a classmate did not have headphones, and he opted to share so they both got to complete the assignment and Jonah was being proactive helping clean up a mess that he noticed in the front office without being asked!

After reviewing our animal species sign up list we are noticing that we are still missing several families from the Gary FFA band app and animal species bands. Please use the links below to join the Gary FFA band and then the band that correlates to the species of animal(s) that you show. Both parents and students need to join these so everyone is aware of information being sent out. If you have not signed up you are missing information that is being posted. If you have any questions please let Mrs. Creech or Mr. Shadix know.

Tonight is the last night of Hadestown! If you haven't got a ticket to ride that train, it may already be too late if we have a crowd as big as last night! Here are a few more pictures to show off our talented cast, and a few extras from Friday night!
Hadestown is an amazing musical performed by a talented group here at Gary HS! You still have two more chances to see this at the Gary Black Box Theater, tonight at 7PM and tomorrow at 6PM! Tickets are $10 each and they are going fast!
On Friday, 34 students from Gary FFA attended the SFA Experience. Students attended two sessions. The first session was on campus where they split off into groups that covered Forestry, Horticulture, Ag Mechanics and Ag Education. After leaving campus they headed out to the Ag Farm in groups that covered Animal Science, Poultry, and Veterinary Science. Students were able to experience some cool aspects of the agriculture industry today while representing Gary FFA!
We’re posting a little late, but we couldn’t miss the chance to celebrate last week’s spotlight team!
Our youngest learners are surrounded by an incredible team of caring and dedicated educators!

In Kindergarten, Mrs. Robyn and Ms. Isbell bring joy, energy, and excitement to learning, helping their students build confidence and discover their love for school.
We are so thankful for this amazing group of ladies who make learning a wonderful adventure every day!

We have some more Habit Heroes to share for this week; Madisyn, Braylen, and Kinsler! Madisyn was proactive and encouraged her class to be helpers in the cafeteria. Braylen was thinking win-win in the bus when he worked with others to help the younger kids who struggled to get into the large bus seats. Kinsler put first things first by correcting his mistakes and apologizing without being told to do so!
Parents, this is just a reminder to please drop off Elementary students at the cafeteria from 7:15am to 7:55am. Please do not drop them off at the front of the school during this time.
Our latest Habit Hero is Knoxx Reneau, who continues to be proactive in his class and seeks to solve problems without being told to by the teacher!
