2024 Academic Recognition Banquet
The Granbury ISD Education Foundation honored the top 25 students in the Granbury High School Class of 2024 during the eleventh annual Academic Recognition Banquet on May 9, 2024, at La Bella Luna. The banquet also included the students honoring the Granbury ISD employees who most influenced their education.
The GISD employees were not just from the high school, as the group also currently works at other campuses and departments. Some were retired educators who previously taught in the school district.
In a fitting end to the nationally-observed Teacher Appreciation Week, the teachers and other employees were honored with the reading of a statement written by students about the impact made on their education and also their lives.
The GEF’s mission is creating opportunities to invest, encourage, and support educational excellence in GISD. The foundation is designed to be a community effort bringing donations from businesses, civic groups, and individuals to fund innovative teaching grants, student scholarships, and academic achievement for GISD students. GEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization created for the benefit of the school district’s students and staff members and will provide funding not allocated by tax dollars.
Underwriting this year’s banquet were First National Bank of Granbury and Hard Eight Pit BBQ in Stephenville.
