Do you know a family who would like to join the academy? Do they have a love for the arts? Do they already have some Spanish language abilities? This is their chance! Help us spread the word!

Arlington ISD is looking for performers to participate in the first Talent Showcase for the Arlington MLK Advancing the Dream Weekend Celebration. We are looking for Arlington ISD students or groups, K-12th, to submit entries to be a part of celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. Please complete this submission by December 1st.

On Friday, November 4th, our 8th grade Gateway Gators attended a field trip to the CR Smith aviation museum. These students learned about careers in aviation, and they learned that many everyday careers can be applied to careers in aviation. They represented Gunn well!
