GPISD Announces Senior Gold Card Program
Superintendent Dr. Angi Williams is proud to introduce the Galena Park Independent School District's new Senior Gold Card program. Senior Gold Cards are now available to all GPISD residents fifty-five years of age or older and will provide members with free admission to all GPISD performing arts and athletic events. Members will also receive subscriptions to the district's Fine Arts and Athletics newsletters, access to informative email blasts and all athletic and fine arts calendars. The media rarely highlights the wonderful things that are happening in public schools, but with this program, Dr. Williams hopes to reconnect our community members who no longer have children enrolled in our schools with the great things that are going on in GPISD.
To enroll in the Senior Gold Card program, bring proof of age and residence to either the GPISD Administration Building (14705 Woodforest Blvd) or the district Athletic Office (15025 Wallisville Rd) between the hours of 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM (Monday-Friday). For more information call 832.386.1268.
