Campus Events
Campus events are a vital part of the special school culture and community at Great Hearts Irving. See below for details.
Culture Week
Our Culture Weeks are an opportunity for our whole school to come together around the foundational habits that we all share, and that make Great Hearts Irving unique—the cardinal virtues. The goal of our Culture Weeks is for our students and faculty to join together once a quarter with their House members across all grade levels, and wonder together about one of the cardinal virtues and how we can strive to exemplify that virtue in our lives at school and beyond.

Fall Festival
Our last Fall Festival in 2019 was an incredible success, with over 3,000 members of our community in attendance to play games, get their faces painted, find their way through the hay maze, and more. We regretted that the pandemic made it impossible to follow up in 2020, but look forward to our next Fall Festival, tentatively scheduled for October 23, 2021.
