Dear Goose Creek CISD Community

Last year was a remarkable one for our athletics program. From thrilling victories to inspiring sportsmanship, our student athletes showcased their dedication, talent, and teamwork, making us all proud. Among many accomplishments, we had 2 all-state volleyball players, 11 girls track regional finalists, 5 boys track regional finalists, and 11 tennis regional finalists. Our soccer teams also had a great year; our GCM women’s soccer team were regional semi-finalists and our GCM men’s soccer team made an appearance at state as semi finalists. This year, we’re building on that success with even greater aspirations. Our coaches and student-athletes are ready to take on new challenges, and we have some exciting

new initiatives and enhancements planned that I believe will elevate our programs even further. Our commitment to fostering an environment of excellence, growth, and community spirit remains unwavering. As always, your support plays a crucial role in our achievements. We look forward to your continued encouragement and participation as we embark on this new school year. Together, let’s make it a year filled with pride, growth, and countless successes. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead for all of our athletes and teams. Let’s keep growing GIANTS! Lee Martinez Director of Athletics
