Garland ISD has three cities and 72 schools, but we are one big family. Social media has helped keep us #GISDAlwaysConnected during the district's temporary closure. GISD students and staff participate in weekly theme days by showcasing their creativity and ingenuity via photos. Themes include #GISDMoveItMonday, While the events of 2020 are definitely historical, this year’s graduating class is just as memorable. It is resilient, exceptional and unstoppable. Garland ISD salutes all seniors and thanks the community for supporting them as well. See the latest information regarding 2020 commencement ceremonies at garlandisd.net/graduation. #GISDTeamSpiritTuesday, #GISDWorkFromHomeWednesday, #GISDTravelThursday, and #GISDFunFriday. A video contest and request for teacher and parent appreciation shout-outs have also received large responses.
