Grant Patrol

Strike up the band!

Grant Patrol consists of Education Foundation board members and donors, along with CSISD high school cheerleaders, mascots, and drum lines. Once a year, they visit CSISD campuses to award grants to the selected winners.  Each winning teacher is surprised with a check and cheering presenters to mark the occasion.
