School Closures

Due to the forecasted severe weather and unsafe road conditions, all GISD schools and offices will be closed on Thursday, January 9, and Friday, January 10, 2025. All GISD after-school activities scheduled for those days are also canceled. See the Weather Procedures page for more details.

The WiseGeek Community Service No-Essay Scholarship recognizes the vital role young volunteers play in our communities. Notably, teenagers in the U.S. contribute 2.4 billion hours annually to volunteer work, valued at $34.3 billion to the economy. This significant involvement not only benefits communities but also the volunteers themselves. Youth who volunteer are less likely to engage in destructive behavior and more likely to succeed academically and civically.

This scholarship supports deserving, community-minded students of all education levels and fields of study, helping them pursue their education with less financial burden. In commitment to our communities, we hope this scholarship encourages these future leaders to continue their exemplary service.
