Granger ISD -

Tuesday, October 14 marks the first day of competition for our 2025-26 year in FFA. Our Tractor Tech, Broadcasting and Ag Skills teams have been spending a lot of time preparing this semester! Wish them luck this week. We're ready for another exciting year!

Fentanyl is a man-made, Schedule II narcotic that has reached a growing number of communities of all sizes across Texas and has impacted so many lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), within the last two years, teen overdose deaths related to Fentanyl have tripled. Over half of all overdose deaths are related to Fentanyl use. Death from Fentanyl overdose happens when the respiratory system slows, or not enough oxygen gets to the brain. Educate yourself about the risks and signs of fentanyl use and have conversations with your kids about the dangers of this deadly opioid. Your awareness can make all the difference.

The sophomore class hosted a very successful volleyball tournament today. Big shout out to all the teams that came and played! We're so thankful for your support. We're proud to announce the winning team was Spiked by Riches; they fought hard for the win. Again, thank you to the teams for your donations, parents for helping out, sophomores for working the games and concession stand, and class sponsors for organizing the fundraiser. It was a big team effort! We hope to see y'all next year!

Congratulations to all 3 Lady Lion Volleyball teams for sweeping the McDade Bulldogs today! JVB and JVA won in 2 sets, Varsity won in 3 sets. Tuesday they will be on the road to Thorndale. Come out and be loud!

We were very lucky and thankful to have the Granger Volunteer Fire Department take time out of their day to visit and share important information about fire prevention. They also talked about the vital role the fire department plays in our community and gave students a close-up look at the fire truck. Thank you, Granger VFD!

October is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Month, and we're joining the fight to spread knowledge and protect our communities. Fentanyl is a powerful and dangerous drug, and awareness is key in preventing its devastating consequences. Every week we will post a fact or information about fentanyl on social media. Grades 6-12th will learn about opioids especially fentanyl during the month.
