We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing of a Garrison ISD elementary student, Rhett Sarkies. Rhett was a Garrison Bulldog, through and through, and a brave fighter. Our school and community have truly been touched by Rhett’s strength and courage during his battle with cancer over the last couple of years. Services for Rhett Sarkies will be held at Bulldog Stadium on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. The family requests that all guests sit on the home side of Bulldog Stadium. The field will be reserved for the family of Rhett. No guests will be permitted on the field before, during, or after the service. Please understand and be respectful of the family’s wishes at this time. Garrison ISD will have early release at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022 to allow for attendance of Rhett’s service. The family has requested that anyone in attendance wear maroon in remembrance of Rhett, one of Garrison’s biggest Bulldog Fans! Please join us in keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Garrison ISD will have a regular start to the school day tomorrow - Thursday, April 14th. Reminder: There will also be no school on Friday, April 15th. It is a scheduled Teacher Comp Day.

After careful consideration and rural road evaluations, we feel as though it is in the best interest of our school community safety to close on Wednesday April 13th. There is significant debris and several power lines across numerous rural roads across the school district. We apologize for any inconvenience this creates but hope you understand this decision comes in the best interest of our staff and student safety. There is another scheduled line of storms to pass through the area Wednesday morning. We pray for the safety of our school community and anyone affected by these storms...please spread the word.
