Today, we honor Joey Mickey Deupree, one of two 2025 Walk of Honor inductees:
Deupree served in the Navy before moving to Colleyville with his wife, Jane, in 1966. He still lives in the home he built for his family. Deupree worked for the Federal Aviation Administration and upon moving to Colleyville, he immediately became involved in the community and the schools. He served as Chairman of the Colleyville Planning and Zoning Commission, was a member of the Advisory Council for Community Education, was a longtime Lion’s Club member and was a deacon and teacher in his church. He was also active in the Colleyville PTA, including serving as president in the late 1960s before being elected to the GCISD School board where he served as President.

STEMapalooza Day at Cannon Elementary School was Friday, October 31. Students used their science, technology, engineering and math know-how to solve challenges—from kindergarten and first grade students programming little red robots to drive to grandma’s house and avoid the wolf to fifth graders becoming software engineers to design roller coasters with safety in mind. What fun!
The game ball at Friday Night Lights was delivered by Junior Captains Kaleb Carey, Grapevine Elementary School fifth grader, and Noah Nguyen, Glenhope Elementary School kindergartener. LeAnn Brown, president of the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation, welcomed them to the game. Thank you to GCEG for sponsoring the Junior Captains program!
