6th AnnualAcademic Recognition BanquetMay 4, 2017
The Granbury ISD Education Foundation honored the top 25 students in the Granbury High School Class of 2017 during the sixth annual Academic Recognition Banquet on May 4, 2017, at DeCordova Bend Country Club. 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 currently works also at Acton Middle School, Baccus Elementary School, Granbury Middle School, and Mambrino School. Five honorees were also retired staff.
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 each student about the impact that they have made not only on their education but also their life.
