Two iUniversity Prep teachers had the experience of skydiving this Sunday, which is a great tie into the school’s 2025-2026 theme of “Take Flight.” The invitation came from one of their 2025 graduates who owns Dallas Skydive Center. Photos were provided by Grapevine Photo.

Our teachers and campus staff have been busy preparing to welcome our students back to school for what we know will be a great GCISD Journey! Check out some of the activity happening across the district.
