Out of an abundance of caution and the most recent Nacogdoches county disaster declaration, Garrison ISD will be closed on Monday, January 26th. All junior high basketball games are canceled as well as all basketball and softball practices.
Garrison ISD is closely monitoring the weather forecast for this upcoming weekend. We want to assure you that any decisions about delays or cancellations are never made lightly. We understand the significant impact these changes can have on families, work schedules, and daily routines. Our aim is to make a decision that ensures the safety and well being of our students and staff.
We will have regular school on Friday, January 23rd, with adjustments being made to the Friday night basketball schedules. We have cancelled the sub varsity games to ensure families get home earlier in the night. The Ring of Honor presentation for Jabarra Williams has also been postponed.
At this time, freezing temperatures appear early Saturday morning through the weekend, with a high chance of freezing rain. Garrison ISD will make a decision by 2:00 pm on Sunday regarding school on Monday, January 26, 2026.
Please understand that the weather in East Texas seems more unpredictable now more than ever. Please make sure you are logged into your Rooms account and that you are following the Garrison ISD app or facebook page.

MANDATORY MEETING 📅 Tomorrow ⏰ 5:30 PM 📍 High School Media Room If you have a child who may be interested in trying out for the 2026–2027 Middle School or High School Cheer Team, a parent or representative must be present at this meeting on behalf of you and your child. We understand there are away basketball games tomorrow. If you are unable to attend because of this, please contact Amie or Tori.
Today we are reminded that iron sharpens iron, and the support from others who understand the grind means everything. A huge THANK YOU to the Woden Varsity Cheerleaders for the thoughtful goodie bags wishing our Garrison Varsity good luck. The encouragement from a fellow Nacogdoches County program truly means so much to our team and our program.
We also want to give a special shout-out to our Garrison Middle School Cheerleaders for the Starburst bag that read, “Burst onto the mat like the stars that you are.” Your support and kind words made our day and remind us how special our cheer family is from top to bottom.
Tonight, our Garrison Varsity Cheerleaders take the mat at the UIL State Spirit Championships. Please help us wish them the best of luck as they represent our school and community with pride.

We are excited to announce that the Garrison ISD softball field is nearing completion. As the softball season approaches, we ask all visitors to refrain from entering the area, as the company is still working on the baseball field. If they are forced to halt their work due to increased traffic, the baseball schedule may be further delayed.
Congratulations to Garrison Elementary!
