About our Council

The Grapevine-Colleyville Council of PTAs is comprised of a Council Executive Board, Council Committee Chairs, and representatives from our 17 Local PTAs. We provide support, leadership training and resources to our volunteers within the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District, and we sponsor programs that are open to all patrons of the school district. We invite businesses and civic leaders to join our PTA as Corporate Partners or Community Members.
