GPISD Trustee Place 1 Terry Brooks (Incumbent)

3. If you are an incumbent, what have been your accomplishments since joining the Board? The quality of education in Grand Prairie has improved greatly in the past fifteen years. Our graduation rate has climbed to 98.7%. Two new high schools, Dubiski and Crosswinds, ensure that our students are prepared to emerge as tomorrow’s leaders. The academies opened earlier this year at Arnold and Kennedy Middle Schools are giving our young men and women a head start to lead and succeed. And I am personally proud that the district has never had to lay off a single employee for financial reasons during my tenure.
