Campus Consolidation Information
The GISD Board of Trustees voted to consolidate Rosenberg and Morgan Elementary Schools, as well as Austin and Weis Middle Schools.
The goal of this consolidation is to best serve students by improving operational efficiency and enhancing educational opportunities in the 2024-25 school year.
In the 2024-2025 School Year:
- Rosenberg Elementary and Morgan Elementary will be combined into one elementary campus in the current Austin Middle School Building, located at 1514 Ursuline St. Galveston, Texas, 77550.
- Students entering sixth grade at the start of the 2024-2025 school year will attend the district's current fifth-grade campus, Weis Middle School. The campus will house all fifth and sixth-grade students from the consolidation forward.
- GISD will continue to offer its Schools of Choice program among the district's five elementary campuses, which will comprise the new elementary school at Austin, Oppe, Parker, Burnet, and Crenshaw.
