In addition to the school facilities, the district has ten administrative facilities, one planetarium , and two football stadiums. Led by a seven member Board of Trustees, the district is one with a proven track record. The community and staff work as a team to build a strong system. While fiscally conservative, administrators are constantly looking for innovative ways to prepare our students for the 21st century. Support from GISD patrons has always been strong.
Citizens realize the importance of a strong public education system to our city.
Residents have never defeated a school bond issue. Over 51,000 students are currently enrolled in GISD schools in grades K-12. The average educator in the district has 11.1 years of teaching experience. At the high school level, that average rises to 12.8 years. All schools are fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency.
