A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT
May 26, 2020
Dear Galena Park I.S.D. Staff,
I hope each of you enjoyed a healthy, safe and relaxing Memorial Holiday weekend with your loved ones. This Thursday marks our last day of school for the 2019-2020 school year, and this year has been an experience none of us could have ever predicted or expected! I am extremely proud of our staff for the way each has stepped up and worked hard to finish the school year successfully.
We have long had a saying in Galena Park I.S.D.: "Whatever It Takes!," and our COVID-19 school closure has certainly forced all of us, adults and students alike, to do just that. The lesson I hope everyone learns from this experience is this: sometimes life doesn't go the way we hope, or plan, but that's okay; we will figure out what must be done to have the most successful outcomes possible, and we will work hard to achieve those outcomes. We will not be defeated.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for everything you do to support the students of Galena Park I.S.D., and please remember to feed your minds, bodies, and spirits constantly. We are not complete without any of these three, and it is up to us to ensure that each is properly and abundantly fed. Each member of our beloved GPISD family remains in my prayers daily.
Many blessings to you and your loved ones,
Angi Williams, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
