Superintendent’s Corner: Dr. Enos Shares His Thoughts

Gunter ISD Families and Community Members,

As we move further into the school year, we want to share the exciting work happening across our district, all focused on supporting our students and helping them thrive.

Academic Excellence: We are adding aligned High-Quality Instructional Materials in Math and ELAR and a PK–12 Math Framework to ensure consistency and rigor across all grade levels. Our academic programs are continually evaluated to meet students where they are and prepare them for long-term success.

Student-Led Learning: Student-led parent-teacher conferences have started, giving our students the opportunity to take the lead in their educational experiences. These conferences encourage ownership, reflection, and active participation in their learning journey.

Character and Social-Emotional Growth: We are reviewing character education programs to implement a district-wide initiative that helps students develop resilience, soft skills, and healthy relationships.

Supporting Students and Families: Thanks to the Gunter Ladies for Tomorrow, programs like LovePacs provide meals and resources to students in need, ensuring every child has what they need to focus and succeed.

Fine Arts, Athletics, and Innovation: With two new gyms and an updated band practice surface, students have more space to practice and compete. From band performances to CTE projects, students are growing their skills, confidence, and creativity both inside and outside the classroom.

Strategic Planning and Relationships: Our 2026–2031 strategic planning process is underway, focused on actionable growth measures and maintaining strong relationships across our schools, families, and community as we grow. At Gunter ISD we will Inspire, Innovate, Impact!

Every initiative at Gunter ISD is designed with our students in mind. Thank you to our staff, families, and community partners for helping us ensure that every student continues to learn, grow, and thrive in a supportive and inspiring environment.

With gratitude,
Brandon Enos, Ed.D.
Superintendent and Lead Learner

Homecoming in Gunter was a memorable celebration of school pride and community spirit, centered around this year’s theme, “A Sea of Blue.” The week’s events included themed dress-up days, a community tailgate and pep rally featuring fireworks, the annual parade, the Homecoming coronation, the football game, and the high school dance. A HUGE thank you to all who made HOCO 2025 such a memorable event for students, staff, and community members to celebrate our traditions and Gunter Tiger spirit.

Mrs. Rippamonti’s 5th grade class earned the title of “Fastest Class at GES” for the first quarter! This fun challenge, held every nine weeks in PE, highlights lessons in perseverance, teamwork, and grit. Students even added a touch of math, calculating the winning class based on the average number of laps per student.

4th grade students in Mrs. Hough and Mrs. Pelzel’s science classes had a BLAST making and using solar ovens to heat smores. What a sweet way for students to discover how insulation and conduction help absorb and retain heat energy.

Cuteness overload at the elementary when our MS Theatre students delivered monster plushies to the Pre-K students who designed them. 

This annual collaboration is always a favorite! Pre-K students practice shapes, colors, and creativity, while theatre students learn to bring another artist’s vision to life—plus some handy sewing skills along the way. They did an amazing job!

Our GES students had a fantastic time learning the fundamentals of bus safety from the GISD Transportation Department! With the fun “ghoul bus” leading the way, they gained a clear understanding of the danger zone and how to stay safe around buses. Our youngest Tigers did an amazing job!

Students showed off their Tiger pride all week with fun dress-up days, the Tailgate, and of course, mums and garters. The energy, creativity, and school spirit made this Homecoming one to remember!

GMS art students in Mrs. Voyles's classes are creating amazing works of art! From bold colors to creative designs, their talent and imagination shine through every piece. We’re so proud of their hard work and artistic growth!

Their projects highlighted creativity, collaboration, and an impressive entrepreneurial spirit. We’re so proud of their hard work and innovation!

6th graders in Mrs. Morrison's science classes launched balloon rockets to explore unbalanced forces in action! Working together, students tested how air pressure and motion interact—an exciting, hands-on way to experience science in real life.

Next, they will connect their findings to Newton’s Third Law of Motion: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Stay tuned as they continue exploring force and motion!

Mrs. Nichols’ STEM classes had a blast building slingshot cars and putting their engineering skills to the test!  Students designed, built, and raced their creations in a fun Halloween challenge racing their ghosts to the graveyard!  It was a great mix of creativity, problem-solving, and spirited competition in STEM!

Congratulations to our 7A and 8A volleyball teams for winning their District tournaments! The 7A team dominated the competition, finishing the season undefeated, while the 8A team stayed perfect in district play!

The art students at Gunter High School are producing truly remarkable works of art! From creative sketches to vibrant paintings and innovative mixed-media projects, their talent, imagination, and dedication shine through in every piece. We’re so proud to see their skills and creativity continue to grow!

Spanish II students in Ms. Mercado’s class created projects to honor loved ones as part of their study of Día de los Muertos. They built traditional ofrendas featuring meaningful items that celebrate and remember those who have passed, including beloved pets. Día de los Muertos is observed on November 1st and 2nd, a time to honor and cherish the memories of loved ones.

Every day is a great day to be a Tiger, but it was a really great day for the Gunter FFA when the Greenhand and Senior members competed at Tarleton in the LDE contest. The Tractor Tech team participated in the United Ag & Turf Tractor Tech Contest in Marshall, earning Grand Champion Overall Team, with Maci Verden named High Point Individual! We’re so proud of these students for their hard work, dedication, and outstanding representation of Gunter FFA!
