Rugby's week at a glance! Rugby got to take our donated cat and dog food to Healing Hearts Rescue!




Groesbeck ISD is seeking motivated and qualified individuals to join our Goat family! If you're looking for a great place to work, apply online at Groesbeck ISD – Job Postings or visit https://groesbeckisd.schoolspring.com/.

Today we celebrate our incredible paraprofessionals—15 amazing individuals who make a difference in our school every single day! 💙
Your patience, dedication, flexibility, and love for our students do not go unnoticed. You step in wherever needed, support our teachers, and most importantly, build meaningful relationships that help our students succeed. Our campus simply wouldn’t run the same without you!
And if you look closely at the pictures… even Rugby can’t take his eyes off of you—he knows just how special you all are too! 🐾
Thank you for everything you do. We appreciate you more than words can say! #ParaAppreciation #HOWGoats

REMINDER: This Friday, April 3, is Good Friday and a school holiday!

Due to a scheduling conflict, the 2026 Homecoming Football Game will be on September 25, instead of October 23, as the Area Band Competition has been scheduled for October 24. With the GHS Band being an integral part of the Homecoming Parade, we have moved Homecoming to September 25. Thank you for supporting our kids, and we do apologize for any inconvenience. Go BIG RED! 🐐

April is Autism Awareness Month 💙
At HOW, we are proud to celebrate and support our students, families, and community by spreading awareness, kindness, and acceptance. Throughout the month, we will be recognizing Autism Awareness by dressing up each Thursday in a special color!
Be sure to check out the attached flyer for the specific colors for each Thursday in April. We can’t wait to see everyone participate and show their support!
Together, we can make a difference by promoting understanding, inclusion, and acceptance for all. 💙 #HOWPride #AutismAwareness #InclusionMatters
