Goose Creek CISD September 2024

STARTING THE YEAR RIGHT UNLEASHING THE POWER OF OUR GIANT STORY

On Monday, August 12, Goose Creek CISD welcomed close to 24,000 students. From the early learning academies, where 4-year olds may be setting foot in a classroom for the first time, to the secondary campuses, where students are getting ready for their life after graduation, the excitement could be felt across the district in the 32 schools. GCCISD is back to school and in a Giant way! “I am so excited for you!” Denise Urias told her children, Paislee and Waylin, as she snapped their picture at the Highlands Elementary School “Welcome Back” wall. A few steps further down, Principal Blanca Capetillo was welcoming parents and students into the library and helping them with the registration process. She explained “We have been working hard to receive your students since April and cannot wait to get to know our new Hawks!”

Eleven miles away, Cedar Bayou Junior School’s new principal, Dr. Roger Cardona walked the halls welcoming students back to school. “I am excited about joining Bear Country, I know that together we will continue to grow Giants!” This year, the district is embracing the theme “Our Giant Story” – spotlighting the personal stories, values, and campus cultures within the district. “Our Giant Story” is an invitation to everyone to share their journey, highlighting the diverse paths that create the Goose Creek community.
