One of Garland ISD ’ s best-kept secrets is the GISD Education Foundation ! The Foundation provides grants to teachers to purchase things for their classrooms that the district doesn ’ t have the resources to fund . Anyone can contribute and help .

I believe two of Garland ISD ’ s best-kept secrets are the magnet and Career and Technical Education programs offered . I think allowing students to explore a variety of advanced programs that extend past the standard curriculum is truly a great opportunity .
