Georgetown ISD Breaks Ground on $649.5M Campuses

Georgetown, Texas - Central Texas is growing, and with the population increase there also comes a need for an increase in the educational facilities as well.

Groundbreaking Marks Milestone for Georgetown ISD Growth

Last Friday, May 12th, construction crews began work on two new campuses in the Georgetown ISD area. A new elementary school and a new middle school are being built in order to provide the students of the district with the facilities and faculty that they will need in order to keep up with the rapid growth in the Georgetown district.

Voters Approve Landmark Investment in Education

The bond consisted of four propositions (which were all approved) that went towards school facilities, technology, fine arts, and athletic facilities.

Community Support for Enhanced Learning Environment

The package was estimated to cost about $2.75 a month for the average homeowner in the district.
