About Us
Galveston ISD is a district of choice serving 6,300 students across 10 campuses on the island and a portion of the Bolivar Peninsula. Since our first public school opened in 1884, we've grown into a destination district for students, staff, and families guided by one vision: Elevate Learning. Value Culture. Grow Together.
With a 98% graduation rate, a Superior Achievement rating for financial management, and hands-on learning opportunities from fine arts to dual credit, GISD is proud to Raise the Grade for every student, every day. Because here, #ItTakesAnIsland.
