During the fall semester the Giddings High School BETA Club did a tremendous job on earning community service hours. In total, the members completed an impressive 351 hours! These activities included a variety of service projects. Some including, coaching little league teams, helping with the Wendish Festival, Rodeo to help Hill Country Relief, Busted Oaks Cellars Chili Cook-off, National Night Out, completing yard work for the elderly, visiting with the residents of local nursing homes, Wreaths Across America', Giddings Christmas parade, marching band contest, and the powerlifting meet. We are extremely proud and impressed with our members' hard work and dedication to giving back and helping our community. In addition to our community service hours, members also participated in fall service projects. These included Relay for Life, and providing baked goods for the EMS, Lee County Volunteer Fire Department, Lee County Sheriff Department, and Lee County Police Department. We continue to be impressed with the dedication of these members and their leadership to the program. We want to thank them and recognize them for all their hard work and participation with community service.

Short week here at GHS packed with lots of games and events!
Good Afternoon Buff Nation,
We wanted to give you some information and time to prepare for potential traffic adjustments on US 77. Below are the projected changes and dates they will occur. We anticipate this will cause some added travel time for students (and parents) both in the morning and returning from lunch. Please plan accordingly and drive safe. Traffic is expected to be in this configuration until early-to-mid summer.
