Hunger doesn’t take the weekend off.

September is Hunger Awareness Month. It's a time to think about what it means to make sure our neighbors have enough food, not just today, but all year long.

And as we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, we’re reminded of something our community knows well: when we come together, we can take care of each other in meaningful ways.

That’s what Community Unity is all about. Join us for the game and help fill the Weekend Backpack Program shelves by bringing a non-perishable food item. Every donation helps provide food for Gretna students and families over the weekend.

This is The Gretna Way.

The Gretna Way is more than a phrase. It’s the way our entire community shows up for one another.

It’s our students supporting their classmates. It’s staff members lifting each other up. It’s families cheering on our schools. It’s community members stepping in to help. It’s choosing positivity, finding joy, and making sure the people around us know they matter.

We asked members of our Gretna community what The Gretna Way means to them, and what they shared is a wonderful reminder that our culture belongs to all of us.

Our students feel it. Our families see it. Our community believes it.

We do it together. And that’s The Gretna Way.

Take a few minutes to watch the video and hear what The Gretna Way means to the people who help make Gretna Public Schools such a special place.

A special thank you to Jacht for helping us capture the voices, stories, and spirit that make The Gretna Way so special.

School is officially back in session on Wednesday, which means more buses, bikes and kids on our streets! A quick reminder: yellow school bus lights mean slow down and prepare to stop. Red lights and an extended stop arm mean stop.

Please give yourself a little extra time, watch the school zones and help us start the school year safely.

What a wonderful way to welcome our newest staff members to Gretna Public Schools!

Journey Church hosted a breakfast for our new staff, giving them an opportunity to connect, enjoy some time together, and start feeling at home in our community.

We are so excited to welcome these new members of the Gretna family and thankful for Journey Church and their support of our schools.

Thank you for helping us welcome our newest Gretna Greats and for spreading a little joy as they begin this new chapter. This is The Gretna Way in action!

96 of our special education paraprofessionals gathered at Gretna East High School for a day of professional development as they prepare to support students throughout the 2026-27 school year.

This is an incredibly dedicated group of staff members who bring compassion, patience, and commitment to their work every day. They live out Gretna Public Schools' mission to unconditionally accept all students and maximize their potential.

We are grateful for the important role they play in supporting our students and for the care they bring to their work each day.

Thank you for all you do for our students and for being such an important part of The Gretna Way!

We’re excited to have these new faces joining us for the 2026-27 school year. Each person brings their own experiences, talents, and energy to our schools, and we’re looking forward to all they will bring to our students and staff.

Welcome to the team! We’re glad you’re here and excited to have you as part of The Gretna Way.

Here’s to a great year of making connections, finding joy, and spreading it wherever we go!

It was great to have our staff back together this morning for our Back to School All Staff Meeting!

After some time away, it was fun to see everyone reconnect, catch up, and start getting ready for another great year. Our district office team took a quick photo to celebrate the excitement and the amazing people who make Gretna Public Schools such a special place.

As we prepare for students to return next week, we’re focused on supporting one another, building connections, and spreading a little joy wherever we go.

We can’t wait to see our students back in our buildings soon!
