  • GISD Closed on Thursday (2/18) and Friday (2/19)

    I hope you are all safe and warm. As you know, the past several days have been challenging. Yesterday, we experienced our first water leak in the boiler room area at GJHS. Today, we have discovered additional leaks at the junior high and at Crestview. I am sure there are more to come through Friday. I don’t see the roads being safe on Thursday and am doubtful about Friday morning. Due to this, coupled with power grid uncertainty and probable water issues, Graham ISD will be closed until next Monday. Stay safe and warm! Sonny Sonny Cruse, Superintendent Graham Independent School District
