Education Foundation supports GCISD

The Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation was created to support the educational programs of the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District. The Foundation will provide funds beyond the normal operating budget for educational programs and activities for students and staff. Foundation funds will be used to facilitate student achievement and skill development, recognize and encourage staff excellence and expand community involvement from individuals, businesses and civic organizations.
