When we say Garland ISD is unmatched, we mean it. No other district matches what we do for our students. So, what makes GISD unique? Our district covers three cities, creating an inclusive community rich in cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Garland ISD’s cultural diversity is unmatched – a colorful mosaic where every piece fits perfectly. We are all connected and come together to form one extraordinary GISD community.
