GFW Public Schools is moving to a digital and cashless ticketing app for events! Everyone who enters the event will need a ticket. Our students can still attend the games free of charge, but will need a student pass.
Be sure to download the app if you plan on attending events and cheering on the Firebirds!

🚌🎉They’ve arrived!🎉 🚌
Two new buses rolled into GFW this morning!
These buses were purchased using one-time funds from our HVAC and LED lighting rebates, along with proceeds from the auction of items from our former elementary school. By putting these dollars to work, we’re investing in safer, more reliable transportation for our students—without using additional taxpayer dollars.
Looking ahead, replacing our aging transportation fleet remains a priority. That’s why Question 1 on the upcoming November election includes a long-term transportation fleet replacement plan.
