The now homecoming king of Colleyville Heritage High School, Zakai Clay, is wheelchair-bound and requires a handicap-accessible van to get to events. When he needed a ride to the homecoming football game, GCISD Transportation didn't hesitate to help him make his appearance at not only the game, but to the dance the following evening, where he was officially crowned king since the game was canceled due to lightning just prior to the announcement.
Zakai and his fellow court nominees will be also honored at tonight's football game, set for at 7 p.m. at Mustang Panther Stadium, with the help once again of GCISD Transportation staff. #WeAreGCISD
