Today was a GREAT day! Senior Clap-Out brought all the feels! From smiles to tears, it was a reminder of just how special this journey has been. So incredibly proud of the Class of 2026!

Last week GPCI and YWLA did their last big event as the 2025-2026 Mayor's Teen Council: collecting their certificates! These scholars volunteered and changed the city this year, one step at a time. We couldn't be more proud of their hard work with the city of Grand Prairie, and we thank Mayor Ron Jensen for inviting us to be part of his teen council this year. THEY DID IT!
