Office of Communications & Engagement 

The Gregory-Portland ISD Communications & Engagement Office works collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to establish and cultivate trust through transparent, honest, consistent, and balanced communication in the G-P community. Through the development of strong relationships and partnerships, we aim to support our schools, department teams, leadership, families, and residents by prioritizing Quality Service and Impactful Community Engagement.  

Our schools and district teams are supported as G-PISD works to fulfill our goals to increase student, parent/family, and community satisfaction and engagement through service designed to Educate, Inspire, and Empower our students, families, and greater community.
