Garland ISD CTE Center

The district is inviting community members to help name its new Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center, slated to open in fall 2017.

The CTE Center will allow students to explore interests regardless of their home campus. Courses include everything from animation to culinary arts to engineering, offered in morning or afternoon sessions.

The facility will also showcase Garland ISD’s and Junior Achievement of Dallas’ joint venture—BizTown—a simulated city designed to teach sixth-graders about participating in a global economy.

GISD Board policy that governs naming facilities can be viewed here.

Please submit your naming suggestion via GISD’s website. The deadline to submit entries is Friday, Oct. 7. For more information about district Career and Technology Education programs, view the department’s webpage.
