Good luck archers!
We'd like to extend a huge Thank You to Brian with 4-Seasons Restaurant! He donated 16 cases of shells for our trap team to use this spring. It's greatly appreciated!!
Below is the attached calendar for the 2025-2026 school year. The survey results were a total 243 entries with 56.4% voting in favor of the August 19 start date. The data broken down by each subgroup were as follows: Students-76 total votes with 72.4% favoring the Aug. 19 start; Staff-43 total with 70% favoring Aug. 19 start; Parents-102 total with 40.2% favoring August 19 ; Community Members-22 total with 50% favoring Aug. 19. The board discussed this at length for nearly 40 minutes and the decision was made to go forward with the August 19 start date, which coincides with the survey results.
Good afternoon high school families. It is that time of year for our mandated spring assessments. On Tuesday and Wednesday we are going to follow a modified block schedule. This scheduling will allow our students a better testing environment. Students will take these assessments in their English, Math, and Science classes. Please encourage your child to do their best on these assessments. These assessments are required by the state. The results from these assessments are what we use to determine our Homeroom/WIN.
On Tuesday March 18 is also Parent Teacher Conferences from 4-8pm. When you come for conferences, please enter using the east doors (by the flag pole).
Thank you for your understanding and have a great day!!
All...
There was freezing rain overnight and the roads are very icy. Please allow for additional time for travel. Buses are running and will likely be late. I'm just leaving and headed west driving the White Shield route. Drive safe.

Garrison Public Schools Announcement
Due to the bitterly cold temperatures, we want to inform families that buses will be running on time tomorrow morning as scheduled. Dr. Klemisch will be driving one of the routes, and Mr. Dangel will be on standby to assist as needed.
Please ensure that your children are dressed appropriately for the extreme cold, including warm coats, hats, gloves, and appropriate footwear. Safety is our top priority, and while we are running buses as usual, we understand that every family’s situation is different. Parents ultimately have the final decision on whether to send their children to school.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe and warm!

Next week is FFA week! Elementary students are invited to dress up with the HS!
We had a fun time for Giving Hearts Day! Pie the Principal contest at the elementary was a successful endeavor! The community drive to help Camp of the Cross was all in good fun! We enjoy supporting our community as we appreciate how our community supports our schools!
Fyi... The McLean County Sheriff's Department and some additional departments are conducting some training today at the high school, so when you see a number of additional law enforcement vehicles don't be alarmed.
Thank you!
