October is National Principals Month!

Luling ISD is proud to celebrate our incredible principals and the leadership they bring to their campuses each day.

We appreciate all you do for Luling ISD!

Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day!

This morning, our Central Office team made the rounds with breakfast to celebrate the incredible custodians who take such great care of our schools every day!

Because our custodians have staggered schedules, we couldn’t catch everyone for a picture—but don’t worry, we made sure everyone got breakfast! 😊 Some of our amazing team may be missing from the photos, but they are definitely not missing from our appreciation.

Thank you to our custodial team for everything you do behind the scenes and all across Luling ISD. We appreciate you more than you know!

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day to our amazing custodial crew!

Thank you for keeping our campus welcoming and ready for learning.

You are an essential part of our Gerdes family, and today we’re celebrating YOU!

Weather & Dismissal Update!

Last night we celebrated our students who earned a perfect score of 10 on their 2026 STAAR Writing!

Not a good score. Not even a great score. But a PERFECT SCORE! These students demonstrated exceptional writing skills and should be incredibly proud of what they achieved.

A special thank you to Patterson Plumbing for providing the awesome yard signs for our Perfect 10 students!

6th and 7th grade Science classes were all in with hands on Science Labs! Inquiry in action!

Our talented band students are working hard, growing their skills, and bringing their music to life! There’s something special about walking past the band hall and hearing great music ringing through the streets!

Our SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Committee) had an amazing turnout for the 1st meeting of the year! 💚 If you were unable to attend & still want to get involved, please reach out to Mrs. Aldis for info on upcoming events! Info on next meeting will be shared soon!

GJHS families, come hang out with us!

Title I Meeting, FREE nachos, and Junior High Night at the Varsity Game!

Students are welcome to join the fun with a parent or guardian.

Come for the nachos, stay for the meeting, and then let’s cheer on the Eagles!

Just a reminder! Students will have early release, followed by no school the next day while our staff participates in professional learning to continue to improve what we do for students!

Mrs. Davis’ art students are combining creativity with our House System! Students are designing movie posters that represent the traits and values of their Houses, while using their Chromebooks as light boards to bring their designs to life.

Creativity, technology, and House pride all in one lesson!
