Stacer Group Celebrates Our Largest Partnership at Garland ISD's State of the District
On August 31, Stacer Group joined city leaders, Garland ISD Board of Trustees members, and Garland Chamber of Commerce members for the annual State of the District Luncheon, where Superintendent Dr. Ricardo Lopez shared the district's strategic priorities and its Career & Technical Education programs. We shared a booth with the Advanced Academics program and connected with CTE leaders across fields from Manufacturing & Welding to Health Science.
