A celebration provided by the GISD Education Foundation

The Gainesville ISD Education Foundation honored the GHS Class of 2021 Top 10% at the Shining Stars Gala. Each Distinguished Scholar selected one teacher from their years at GISD to honor as their Distinguished Educator at this special event.

The students each prepared a letter of gratitude addressed to their selected teacher, which was included in the program and read by the students at the gala. In return, each educator prepared a short video showing their appreciation for the student.

In addition to providing the meal for all attendees, the Foundation gifted each scholar a $75 Amazon gift card as a reward for their outstanding academic achievements.
