GC FFA members have been taking in the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN this week! Student have been participating in workshops, sessions, watching the finals of National Events, and networking with students from across the country!
Walton Marshall has been serving as a National FFA voting delegate. He is one of only a few hundred from across the country! The decisions he is helping make this week are going to shape the organization for the future.
In addition to events at the convention center, students toured Fair Oaks Farms, the Indiana State Capitol, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fair Oaks Farms is a working dairy and swine facility that milks 11,000 cows with a carousel and robots and produces 40,000 hogs per year.
We are proud of these students and thankful for all who helped make the trip possible.

At the September and October meetings, our GCISD School Board discussed a survey to help GCISD Board members and administrators to create a positive culture and climate. Feedback from the survey will be discussed at future board meetings and used to implement any identified needs. This survey is completely anonymous (no personally identifiable information or IP addresses will be recorded) and will be open for responses until 10/27/23. To help in the data collection, please take the time to complete one survey for each campus on which you have a child enrolled and only complete the survey if you have a child enrolled in GCISD. Thank you for your consideration in completing our survey and helping us to become as great as we can be.
