The Granbury ISD Education Foundation honored the top 25 students in the Granbury High School Class of 2018 during the seventh annual Academic Recognition Banquet on May 9, 2019, 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 and Granbury Middle School.  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 each student about the impact that they have made not only on their education but also their life. 

Students and district employees honored were: 

Underwriting this year’s banquet was Lakeside Physicians.
