iUniversity Prep found a new way to bring collaborative art to life through their traveling mural! Thanks to a Star Teaching Grant from the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation, students submitted artwork that was compiled into a design, which then traveled across Texas to be painted by students at in-person meetings.
The mural’s journey began in Houston on March 4, where students painted the first panels. Then, on March 7, the creativity continued in Grapevine at a student meet-up! During these two painting sessions, Owls connected, collaborated and created something truly special together. Once the final touches are added to the mural, the display will be in public view at the Owl Expo.

Except for Collegiate Academy and iUniversity Prep, GCISD campuses will be closed on Friday, March 14. This day was originally scheduled as a bad weather make-up day, however, GCISD’s 2024-2025 instructional calendar has a sufficient number of minutes to cover the weather-related closure that occurred in January and the days will not have to be made up.
Additionally, all GCISD schools, including Collegiate Academy and iUniversity Prep, will be closed for Spring Break Monday, March 17- Friday, March 21. District offices will also be closed during Spring Break.
