Honor a Special 2026 GISD Graduate!
A customized brick is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of students, faculty, district clubs and teams throughout the years. The bricks are prominently placed in the GISD Walkway of History that leads to the grand entrance of the Curtis Culwell Center.
All of the proceeds benefit the GISD Education Foundation, which serves the communities of Garland, Rowlett and Sachse by meeting the needs of district students and teachers through classroom grants and scholarships.
For more information, click on the " Giving Opportunities " tab and then select " Commemorative Bricks " on the drop-down menu at www. gisdedfoundation. org.
