GCISD Council of PTA's Founder's Day Awards
Each year, the GCISD Council of PTA's presents awards at our Founders Day celebration. Four awards are presented to deserving members of the GCISD Community.
Dr. Jim Thompson Exemplary Achievement in Education Award: Please consider any person on your campus who meets the following guidelines: An educator (employee of GCISD) who has served GCISD students in an exemplary manner for a minimum of five years; who demonstrates support of the PTA mission in their service to students; and who is a PTA member in good standing.
Friend of Children Award: This award honors an outstanding volunteer, teacher, principal, assistant principal, school staff member, grandparent, business person or owner, or community member who continually supports the district or multiple schools within the district/PTAs. This person does not have to be a PTA member.
Honorary Life Membership Award: An Honorary Texas Life Membership is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an individual by the Texas PTA for outstanding contributions to the well-being of children and youth. This person must also be a member of the PTA and support the objectives of the PTA.
Extended Service Award: In 1987, the Texas PTA Board of Directors developed the criteria for awarding a Texas PTA Extended Service Award to those who have continued to give outstanding service to the Texas PTA. This recipient must have been actively involved in the Texas PTA for ten (10) years and be a Texas Life Member.
