There are two very important changes listed in this post regarding December 8th and December 20th. Please be sure to read both.
First off, a big congratulations to our Tiger Football Team on their Regional Championship!
Our next game will be played on Friday, December 8th at Abilene Christian University beginning at 6:00 PM. In order to give teachers, parents, staff members, bus drivers, etc ample time to make the trip and support our players and coaches, we will have a noon dismissal that day. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you or your family. These decisions take into account a staffing shortage and an extremely low attendance rate due to parents/teachers/families leaving early enough to support their kids.
Also, Wednesday, December 20th will be changed to a noon dismissal as well due to a major electrical shutdown at the High School and Middle School for construction purposes. This additional time is crucial for the electricians and our technology department to complete this project before the end of the Christmas break. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, it is critical that this project be completed before school begins again on January 9th.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
It’s a great day to be a Tiger!

The Gunter Volleyball Team made the FINALS! Check out our athletics page for ticketing/parking and venue information at https://www.gunterisd.org/page/gisd-athletics-home-new2023 | Gunter vs Bushland @ Curtis Culwell Center - Garland ISD | Saturday, November 18 | 11 AM
Important message from the Transportation Department: One of our route buses was delayed this afternoon due to a belt breaking. We promptly had another bus dispatched and delivered all students home safely. That bus is still on the side of the road, but please know that everyone who was on the bus is safe at home. Instead of paying a tow truck, we have opted to replace the belt onsite, and that will be done tomorrow. Thank you for your patience this afternoon.
Volleyball Send-Off
Thursday, 11/16 at 7:30 AM | Meet at the front of the high school to cheer on the team as they head off to the STATE SEMI-FINALS!
Tiger Family,
It's always important to stay informed of what is happening in our state with regards to education. This week, the Texas House will consider House Bill 1 which includes a voucher system with universal eligibility for students. According to the Legislative Budget Board, the voucher program will cost $2 billion in the second year of the program and grow each year. This creates a significant new financial commitment for the state while public schools remain underfunded by more than $14 billion.
This week in Tiger Sports. Don't forget to check the Event Calendar, Athletics page, and our social media for ticket links and important notices regarding the playoff games.

We think you should be kind every day! But, if you've never performed an anonymous "Act of Kindness," today is a great day to do that! Do something nice for someone and don't tell a soul. Your well-being will be blessed a thousand times over!
