Giddings ISD #BuffaloPride Mon, May 4, 2026 at 01:05 PM This afternoon, a false alarm was triggered through our emergency notification system. Out of an abundance of caution, local law enforcement responded immediately. It was quickly determined that this was a false alarm, and at no time were students or staff in danger. We have since resumed normal campus operations. We appreciate the swift response and continued partnership of our local law enforcement agencies in helping ensure the safety of our schools. Thank you for your understanding and support.

It is National Principal's Day! Thank you, Ms. Penn, for all you do to for GMS!
