In May, GISD broke ground on its 12th elementary school and fifth middle school off Patriot Way and SH 130 near East View High School.
How it works
The district is accepting name nominations via online forms for Elementary School No. 12 and Middle School No. 5 through Nov. 14.
The new facilities must be named after one of the following:
- A historical or geographical site or community
- A local, state or national historical event or place
- A significant local, state or national figure
- A person who has made a significant contribution to education in the district
District staff will review all nominations and present their recommendations to the board of trustees for approval.
Quote of note
“Naming a school is one of the most meaningful ways we can celebrate our community’s history, values and people,” Superintendent Devin Padavil said in a news release. “Each campus name tells a story about who we are and what we stand for in Georgetown ISD. We’re excited to hear ideas that reflect the pride and spirit of our growing community.”
Something to note
The district will begin the process of rezoning students to Elementary School No. 12 and Middle School No. 5 this month. The district is expected to present its initial rezoning draft at a Nov. 4 board workshop and post the new boundaries proposal to its website Nov. 6, said Melinda Brasher, executive director for communications and community engagement.
Community members can provide their input by attending upcoming town hall meetings beginning Nov. 10 or by completing future online surveys.
The background
Funding for the $64.92 million middle school and $38.37 million elementary school was approved by voters in the district’s $649 million bond election in 2024.
The elementary and middle school campuses are intended to help GISD support fast enrollment growth by accommodating 850 students and 950 students, respectively.
