Seniors went to TSTC’s Discovery Day in Sweetwater to learn about all of the trade programs & certifications that are available to them - everything from diesel mechanics to wind energy technology to welding. Getting these Bearkats ready to go out and show that GC Pride to the world!
It’s ALWAYS a great day to be a Bearkat!

Bearkat Families,
Thank you for helping us make the new bus procedures a success!
Please see the video from Mrs. Marr below:

STARTING NEXT MONDAY
We will be implementing a new pick-up and drop-off location for buses only. Due to concerns regarding congestion caused by both buses and personal vehicles, we are making this change with safety as our top priority. Starting Monday morning, our sheriff's deputies and administrators will be on hand to support this transition.
Together, we can make anything work! We will monitor the new procedure and may implement additional measures in the future if necessary.
We appreciate your partnership.
Bearkat Families,
We will be having a half day next Thursday, October 31st, to accommodate our staff and community families as they travel to Marfa. We will still have a half day on Friday, November 1st, that was already in the academic calendar.
Book Character day is still on for Thursday at GC Elementary! We can't wait to see your kiddos in character.
It's a great day to be a Bearkat!
Due to the Lady Kat XC qualifying for the State Meet (and an athlete from Marfa), there is a change for next week's football games. We will play JH and Varsity at Marfa on Thursday, Oct. 31.
JH: 5:00pm
Varsity: 7:30pm
The Glasscock County FFA has had a busy couple of weeks!
On October 10th, Lacy Seidenberger participated in the State Fair Public Speaking contest. She was one of 30 finalists from 160 entries!
On Monday, Tatum Braden and Lacy Seidenberger participated in the State Fair Job Interview Contest. Tatum was a finalist and placed 3rd in the state!
On Tuesday, we hosted our GC Invitational in Garden City and hosted over 20 schools. Glasscock County FFA had 47 students participate on 21 different teams. Ten different teams placed in the top 5 of their events with the Ag Issues and Radio teams winning their contests.
We look forward to continuing our Leadership Development Team season and thank each of you for your help putting on this event!
These students are SCARY good! Check out these Halloween arrangements from the 9th grade Floral Design classes. Great job kids!
Go Kats!
There have been a couple of changes to the HS Lady Kat Basketball Schedule.
Here's is the updated version: https://5il.co/2zaq1
BOND Update - Early Voting starts Monday morning at 7:00AM
BOND Update
Today's Highlight - With the single $40 million bond proposition, there will NOT be a tax increase based on the current Interest and Sinking (I&S) tax rate of $0.0708. This ensures that we can enhance our facilities and programs while keeping costs stable for our community.
In the world of education, student input is invaluable. This amazing group of student ambassadors have been tasked with joining Mrs. Marr to help pave the way for the future of GCISD.
It's a great day to be a Bearkat!

BOND Update
Today's Highlight - PK-5 STEM Center
The new STEM Center will include a secure vestibule along with administration offices. This enhancement, combined with the state-of-the-art science labs, will expand our overall learning space by approximately 20,000 square feet! This investment will also support our students' STEM learning experiences.
Friendly Reminder
Bearkat families, we hope to see you at our Trunk or Treat! If you would like to set up a trunk, reach out to Ana Rodriguez.

BOND Update
Today's Highlight - New Science Labs for Grades 6-12
Built in 1938, the current science labs are in need of maintenance repairs due to unstable floors, are inadequately sized, and need up to date equipment to ensure students' learning outcomes are setting them up for the future.
With early voting starting next week, we wanted to remind you about what will be included in the proposition.
Today's Highlight - New Ag Fabrication Shop
Our FFA organization is our largest Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO). The new addition will provide students with more space to work and enhanced equipment to tackle more advanced projects. This expansion will help us with preparing students for careers in agriculture and related fields.
