We all know each other and support each other. I love that our community is so deeply rooted in the district, and I think that is what sets GISD apart from the rest. connected Tammy Dana-Bashian Mayor City of Rowlett After extensive research, I chose GISD for my children. The district’s teachers and resources offered allow its more than 56,000 students to learn the skills they need, both inside and outside the classroom. Aidan Truong Sandra Reyes Fifth-Grader Armstrong Elementary School Mail Clerk Driver GISD Printing Services I love my school because of the teachers, the PTA and how the teachers teach. Our teachers help other students and are interactive. My school is great! I love working for Garland ISD because it’s a really friendly environment with great people all around. It’s also nice working to make GISD better for all the kids in the district. Dr. Ricardo López Superintendent Garland ISD I am honored to be superintendent of this outstanding district, but most importantly, I am proud to be a GISD parent. I chose GISD because of the extraordinary opportunities for my children to learn in caring, yet competitive schools. Charge on, GISD!
