Join us in celebrating our 2026 Homecoming Court: Sydnee Gully & Caleb Stewart Claire Eggemeyer & Brody Walts Ivy Braden & Bronc Gass Ella Brinkley & Juan Barco A special congratulations to our Homecoming Queen, Ella Brinkley, and Homecoming King, Brody Walts! We are proud of every student on this court and loved celebrating you under the Friday night lights. It's a great day to be a Bearkat!







Our Bearkats left everything on that field tonight. Every time the game challenged them, they answered. They kept pushing, kept believing, and kept fighting for each other until the very last play.
That’s the heart of Garden City. That’s what it means to wear the red and black.
Bearkats, we see you. We believe in you. And we are so proud to stand behind you. Hold your heads high—this fight isn’t over.

We can't wait to see you all at the parade! The route has changed, so please see the updated map below.
It's a GREAT day to be a Bearkat!

We are so proud of our JH and Varsity Bearkats and Lady Kats cross country teams!
Official results are still pending due to technical difficulties, but we couldn’t wait to celebrate our Kats. They ran hard, supported one another, and represented Garden City so well. Way to go, Kats!
We’ll share the results when they’re available.



We’ve got spirit, yes we do! We’ve got spirit—how about YOU?! Don't forget your Bearkat gear!

See You at the Pole is TOMORROW!
Join us Thursday morning at 7:00AM at the flagpole near the football field for a time of fellowship and faith.
Students, staff, families, and community members are all welcome. We hope to see you there!

We will be closely monitoring Perry Weather. If lightning is detected in the area, we may postpone or cancel Class Olympics and the Lighting of the Letters.
