A Letter from the Superintendent
Dear Galena Park ISD Team,
I know the work ahead of you is difficult, but as the Superintendent of the best district in the State of Texas, I also know I work with the very best. When meeting with educators and administrators from other parts of the state, they are familiar with the caliber of education we provide our students in Galena Park ISD and are eager to share what they know about our district. It has become our trademark. However, this reputation did not come quickly or easily. Truth be told, it is a reputation that long preceded my tenure as leader of the district, and I'm thankful for the previous generations who made Galena Park ISD what it is today for children, staff, and the community. Our mission; however, is to continue moving forward together to further validate our district's long-standing commitment to serving the children of our community with resolve.
I came across a quote by businessman John Shedd that said, "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." Immediately, I thought of each of you. Like a ship made to sail uncharted waters, you also have a calling on your life. You are called to serve children. You are built for it. Daily you navigate the uncharted waters with the hope of making a difference. Thank you for choosing to leave the harbor. I am so proud to work with all of you, and please know that you have an army of people who want to see you succeed and are willing to support you in this mission.
As you prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, it is important you take some time to review the policies contained within this handbook. The handbook has been updated to reflect any changes resulting from the most recent legislative session. Familiarizing yourself with the expectations, the procedures, and the resources available to you will be another tool to help you be successful in your role. Thank you for choosing Galena Park ISD and helping us move forward together. Have a great year!
Warmest regards,
John Moore, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools
