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.

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD Council of PTAs says, “Our Locals and Council of PTAs strive to deliver programs that celebrate diversity by sharing foods, stories, and practices from cultures around the world.” This year, our Council Delegate Chair created a video, along with the GCISD Communications team, of children throughout the district, reciting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ” I Have a Dream” speech. The video was shared in the District newsletter and has already been viewed almost 1000 times.
History
The GCISD Council of PTAs was organized April 2, 1990. Our Council celebrated its 30th anniversary during our fabulous 202o Founders Day event.
