We want to hear from you!
Attention GISD parents:
A parent survey has been released and will be open through December 21st at 4pm. The survey is an opportunity for you to provide input that will be used to drive future planning efforts in GISD. As we continue the work of strengthening the academic experience of our students and partnerships with our community, it is critical that ALL stakeholders be heard. In doing so, we will create an environment that promotes unity, support and opportunities for our leaders of tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your input and willingness to be part of our future planning efforts.

Christmas Art Winners Recognition
Art contest winners for the 3rd annual GISD Christmas card contest were recognized at the Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, December 17, 2018. One student at each campus was determined the winner for that campus and all five campus winners’ designs were used to create the 2018 GISD Christmas card.
GHS Senior Zoey Smith won first place overall and her art was displayed on the cover of the card. GJH 7th grade student Makailia Daniels (not pictured) placed second and her art is on the inside cover.
Additional campus winners’ art was displayed on the back of the card. Natalie Grooms (5th grade), Isaias Sanchez (4th grade), and Miranda White (1st grade).
GISD is proud to be able to share the artistic talent of our students with our community.
Congratulations Redcoats on a great season!
Our GISD band program as a whole has seen growth and significant success this fall. At the board meeting on Monday, the band was recognized for their tremendous hard work, dedication, and success. The band made school history by advancing to the Area finals by outscoring 16 other bands. The group ranked 10th ovreall in Area.
This year, the Redcoat Band had to overcome a lack of a marching percussion section, a smaller guard than the other groups, and a lack of experience this season. Out of the 50 students in the program, 30 of them were in their first year of high school marching band.
The future is bright for the Redcoat Marching Band!
