The GCISD Hope Squad program is designed to cultivate human connection, community and hope within our schools. Students who are selected for Hope Squad are known for their reliability and responsiveness, making them ideal ambassadors for fostering positivity and support among their peers. Two of the GCISD members were recently selected to be a part of the Hope Squad National Council. This is a testament to their dedication and leadership qualities. Congratulations to Jackson Hayden and Nicole Namy on this momentous achievement! #WeAreGCISD
