Gary Don Moore
April 4, 1977 - December 31, 2020
Gary Don Moore, 43, of Pilot Point, TX, passed away Thursday, December 31, 2020, in Pilot Point, TX. He was born April 4, 1977, in Denton to G.A. and Lois Ann (Graves) Moore, Jr. On May 21, 2005, he married the love of his life, Valerie Rich, at First Baptist Church in Celina, TX. Gary was a proud graduate of Celina High School’s Class of 1996. During that time, he was honored by the Texas Sports Writers Association as a member of the Class 2A All-State Team. He was also named the Class 2A Player of the Year, 1st Team Quarterback and the 1st Team Punter. He received an athletic scholarship and attended The University of Oklahoma in Norman. Gary later earned his degree in education from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant. As an educator for more than 18 years, Gary served the students of Plano ISD as a math teacher and football coach, impacting the lives of young people far beyond the classroom. He was a faithful member of Mustang Baptist Church. He often said, “his greatest joy, even better than football, was to be able to speak to churches and youth groups about his relationship with Jesus Christ." Gary is survived by his wife, Valerie Moore; daughters, Julianna “Faith” and Blakely Noelle Moore, and son, Gary Autry Moore III “Trey”; parents, G. A. and Lois Ann Moore, Jr. of Pilot Point, TX; sisters, Pam Moore of Pilot Point, TX, Carol Lynn and husband, Brian of Collinsville, TX and Tona Drees and husband, Dean of Tioga, TX; His mother-in-law, Linda Manny of Allen, TX; father-in-law, Joe Rich and wife, Judy of Hurst, TX; Valerie’s step-parents, Nieman Poe of Plano, TX, Kim Poe of McKinney, TX and Steve Manny of Allen, TX; four nieces and two nephews; and host of friends. Gary was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Gary and Nell Moore; maternal grandparents, Don and Dorothy Graves; and sister-in-law, Julie Anna Rich. A visitation will be held 3:00-5:00PM, Sunday, January 3, 2021 at Midway Church in Pilot Point, TX. The funeral service will be held at 12:00PM, Tuesday, January 5, 2021 at the Old Celina Football Stadium in Celina, TX with Brian Lynn officiating. A private family burial will follow at a later time. The pallbearers will be Danny David, Paul Elvington, Ryan Brooks, Jason Roberts, Jarrod Martin, Kyle Johns, Josh Chandler and Alex Payne. Online condolences may be shared at www.slaymemorialfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to Mustang Baptist Church, 13335 Mustang Rd. Pilot Point, TX 76258, designated to the Gary Don Moore Scholarship Fund. Arrangements are under the direction of Terri Slay and Slay Memorial Funeral Center. OurCelina.com | January 2021

Celina FFA 2020-2021 OFFICERS Our 2020-21 president, senior Kayla Lawson, is serving her second year as an officer and has been in FFA for three years. Kayla is a member of the team showing the new 24-foot entry gate for the ag shop, participated on the Knowledge Quiz Team, and she also participates in CHS theater. Vice President, Hunter DeArkos, a junior, has been in FFA for 3 years. He also is excited about his projects in agriculture mechanics, and is especially proud of his family smoker that he will be exhibiting at county fair and open shows this year. Hunter is also active in his family’s ranch where he works with his cattle and wildlife in the area. Sophomore, VieVie Blanchard is the chapter secretary this year, and in her second year of FFA. She was on the Knowledge Quiz team this year, and is looking forward to participating in Horse Judging. VieVie is also active with the Texas High School Rodeo Association in barrel racing, and was the Texas Jr. High Rodeo Queen in 2019. Our treasurer this year is sophomore, Michael Kraemer, who also has been in FFA for two years. Another agriculture mechanics student, we are looking forward to having him on our Livestock Judging team as his family raises horses, donkeys, and cattle. Junior, Tanner Petway, holds the position of Reporter and this is his second year in FFA. He is most enthusiastic about his agriculture mechanics projects because this will be his first year entering in both the county fair and open shows. When he’s not in the ag shop, Tanner is at home restoring his 1984 GMC pickup. Greyson Blanchard rounds out the 2020-21 officer team as the sentinel. Greyson is a junior and a serious varsity athlete at CHS participating in football, track and powerlifting. He also was a member of our Knowledge Quiz team and we look forward to having him on other teams in the coming spring. While covid restrictions have depleted chapter enrollment and activities (as many students are entirely virtual) both advisors, Mr. Schares and Ms. Riback, are impressed by students stepping up and participating virtually in LDEs and look forward to even more member participation in CDEs as well as county fair, San Antonio, Houston, and other spring FFA contests. For more information about Celina FFA, please contact the advisors at Celina High School.

Celina Independent School District
SCHOOL ZONE
From The Desk of Dr. Tom Maglisceau Dear Bobcats, As we welcome our students back to school in this new year of 2021, it’s hard to believe that we are just months away from marking a full year of work under very new circumstances. This past year has completely altered the landscape for so much of what we all consider to be most important--especially our interactions with one another. As I reflect on this past year, I am proud of how our schools have partnered with our community to bring as much normalcy to our kids’ lives as possible. Few districts across the state opened their doors on time in August with face-to-face learning, and fewer still did so with such a large percentage of students opting to learn in-person like Celina ISD (74%). Our teachers and staff committed to providing strong virtual and in-person instruction while also taking extra precautionary measures to keep our kids and colleagues safe. Additionally, our coaches and fine arts staff have been remarkable at providing opportunities for our kids to safely participate in activities and experiences that are vital to the overall learning of our students. For the first time in Celina ISD’s history, our enrollment surpassed 3,000 students, and by the time of this article’s publication, we will have broken ground on a brand-new 6-8 grade middle school that will open in the fall of 2022. Our district’s most recent demographic report suggests that Celina ISD has the potential to add 3,000 more students over the next four years, and we anticipate opening one new elementary school in both 2023 and 2024. Looking further into the future, our demographic report also notes that CISD will likely approach 12,000 students during the 2030-2031 school year. We are on the cusp of exponential growth in our community! Celina was recently ranked first in The Dallas Business Journal as the fastest growing city in the North Texas area, and our district is proactively planning for new campuses, district-wide improvements, and land purchases that will prepare the district for the challenges that will come with this growth. Celina ISD and the City of Celina have a long history of addressing any challenge by seeing not the problem before us, but seeing instead the opportunity. We are excited about these opportunities, as we actively shape our district culture to enhance the truly unique facets of our community while welcoming new Bobcats to our district. What has always been a strength for Celina ISD is the greatest calling in our district/city partnership: true connection is about taking care of one another. Part of Celina ISD’s commitment to our community is financial prudence as we continue to grow. The Celina ISD Board of Trustees approved a 2020-2021 district tax rate of $1.4832, which is the lowest school district tax rate in over 20 years. As districts across the state prepare for this next legislative session, school funding will continue to be a great challenge. This challenge is even greater for smaller school districts, particularly fast-growth districts like Celina ISD. We are excited for the challenges ahead, and we are thrilled to welcome a new year that brings new opportunities to serve our families as we continue to serve our kids. Sincerely, Tom Maglisceau Superintendent, Celina ISD 12

Celina Independent School District
SCHOOL ZONE CISD School Board January is School Board Recognition Month. Our school board members are volunteers who shoulder critical responsibilities and often make difficult choices for our district, all without pay. Their goal is always focused on the future success of the children in our district. Serving as a link between the community and classroom, school board members are elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for public schools. This month we celebrate our school board members and all that they do for us.
