Glasscock County ISD

🔥 FIRST COMPETITION OF THE YEAR IS IN THE BOOKS! 🔥 Our Glasscock County ISD BBQ Team, Sandbar Smokehouse, kicked off the season at the Tried & True Helping Hands Cookoff at the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department—and these kids showed up ready to COOK! 🔥🐾 And when we say they showed up, we mean it. 😅 Half of our team had a late night playing varsity football and cheering under the Friday night lights, and the other half was up and running cross country this morning before heading to the pits. Tired? Probably. Making excuses? Absolutely not. 💪 These kids stepped into a field full of experienced cooks, professionals, and people they look up to, and proved they can hold their own! 🏆 RESULTS 🏆 🍗 Chicken — 7th Place 🔥 Ribs — 1st Place CHAMPIONS! 🥇 🐷 Pork — 9th Place 🥩 Brisket — 4th Place 🥓 Pork Belly Burnt Ends — 5th Place 🔥 Jr. KidsQ 🥈 Logan — 2nd Place 🔥 Sr. KidsQ Trevor — 6th Place 🥉 Grady — 3rd Place 🥈 Nick — 2nd Place 🥇 Aubrey — 1st Place 🏆 5TH PLACE OVERALL! 🏆 What a way to start the year! We are incredibly proud of the grit, work ethic, and talent these kids showed today. They went from football fields, sidelines, and cross-country courses straight to the cookoff and competed alongside some of the people they consider their role models in BBQ. 1st in ribs and 5th overall at our first competition of the season?! 🔥🔥 Not a bad way to introduce Sandbar Smokehouse 2026–2027. 😎🐾🔥 ❤️🖤 Proud to represent Glasscock County ISD and Garden City! 🖤❤️

Our 5th Grade Student Council traded the classroom for some paws, puppies, and community service today! These Bearkats spent the day volunteering at Happy Day Humane Society—walking dogs, loving on some sweet animals, learning about the shelter, and lending a helping hand wherever they could. Leadership is more than holding a title—it’s serving others and making your community a little better than you found it. We are proud of these young leaders! And judging by the pictures… we’re pretty sure the animals enjoyed their visit too!

Check out what’s happening at GCHS! Our Bearkats are busy learning, competing, and making us proud. Take a look at this week’s GCHS update to see what’s going on!
