Tonight, we recognized Stacie Brown, Karla Willmeth, Denisa Mendel, and Leah Archer for the countless hours they dedicated to planning, implementing, and supporting teachers during the first year of Granbury ISDโs new math curriculum implementation.
Their leadership, hard work, and commitment to supporting both students and staff have earned praise from teachers across the district, Education Service Center Region 11, and even the Texas Education Agency during its recent visit to Granbury ISD. We are incredibly grateful for the impact they continue to make each day.
Granbury ISD is proud of these students and programs for their hard work, leadership, and commitment to excellence. Thank you for continuing to make TeamGISD proud. ๐๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐
