We ask seniors and their escorts to report to the North end zone at 6 p.m. so staff is able to check you in, line you up, and recognize your student's commitment to GHS.

Today was Literacy Lunch at all elementary campuses, one of the many fun ways that GCISD’s Nutrition Services connects learning to the cafeteria. Students enjoyed taco pizza inspired by the book “Dragons Love Tacos,” which Superintendent Dr. Brad Schnautz read at Glenhope Elementary. One lucky student from each grade level at elementary schools who enjoyed a lunch plate received a copy of the book, and another was donated to the schools. Taco ‘bout a great day!

Many GCISD campuses participated in today’s national Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day. This event emphasized safe routes, crossing streets safely, and the importance of looking both ways. Our elementary P.E. classes also teamed up with our police departments who visited schools to talk about being safe on wheels and in crosswalks.
