As part of the No Place for Hate initiative, Gerdes Junior High students are challenging the negative messages underlying biases, stereotypes, and prejudices by focusing on positive messages. Using positive thinking supports mental health, can strengthen relationships, and can help foster an inclusive school environment. #NoPlaceForHate
Our beautiful tree in front of Shanklin is actually two trees, 65+ years old, that have grown together over the years! Expert arborist, Lee Rust, met with district staff and general contractors today to ensure our tree stays healthy during construction. Thank you, Mr. Rust!

If you haven't downloaded our App yet, you need to! Did you know that you can access athletic schedules on the Luling ISD App? If you select Luling ISD on the school building icon in the upper right corner on the app, you can get each sport schedule by selecting Athletics. If you select Gerdes or Luling High School on the school building icon, you then can select Athletics and the "pages"icon in the upper right to select your sport. This will allow you to see the date, time, and where the game will be. If you click on the green calendar button in the lower left corner, it will add it to your phone calendar (we LOVE this feature)! Finally, you can also access an athletic schedule on your campus website under Documents and Athletics.
As part of the Gerdes Junior High No Place for Hate initiative, students are learning the definitions of biases, stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination in order to examine the relationships between these concepts. Misinformation can cause biased thinking which has the potential to lead to discriminatory actions. Raising awareness is one of the best ways to prevent injustices. #NoPlaceforHate
