DI Co-Coordinator John Hill had this to add:

“Greenville ISD Destination Imagination has a rich history of competing at the highest level in the world’s largest creative problem solving competition. This year is no different as GISD has five teams advancing from our Texas East Region competition to the Lone Star Finals at UT-Arlington for the DI state level competition. Students from Travis/6th grade Center, Greenville Middle School, and Greenville High School developed solutions to one of 7 challenges and will be competing on the second largest Destination Imagination stage in the world on March 24-25 for the honor of advancing to Global Finals in Kansas City at the end of May.”

Congratulations to all the students who competed and a big GISD good luck for the teams headed to State!
