Georgetown Community,

As we embark on a new academic year, we should be optimistic about the future of our school district. Georgetown is a special community with a bright future as we grow. Our families deserve high-performing schools where students develop the academic confidence to succeed in the workplace and in life.

Leading up to this August, our staff has been creating learning experiences, innovative programs, and enriching extracurricular activities to ensure each student has the opportunity to excel. Most importantly, our academic focus has shifted to take Georgetown to the next level. This year, our team has improved our curriculum, developed a literacy framework, improved our use of data, and is investing in our administrators as instructional leaders. I am confident in our staff; I am confident in our leaders; and we are determined to grow our students to their unique potential.

To continue the stellar reputation of Georgetown ISD, we must have the systems and processes to see every student succeed. It takes leadership to get this done. 

This work is aligned to our Strategic Blueprint that outlines the organization we strive to be and the outcomes we expect for the people we serve.
