Dear Galena Park ISD Family and Friends,

As we continue to enjoy the holiday season, I want to express how blessed Galena Park ISD has been throughout this year. We are thankful for great academic growth, athletic triumphs, and excellent connections to our community.

The holiday season gives us time to participate in and celebrate traditions we hold dear; therefore, please join us at any of our district or campus events during the next few weeks. We invite you to stop by the Galena Park ISD Administration Building on Thursday, November 30^th, between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. for the district’s Community Holiday Open House, where we can bring in the season together, be serenaded by our students’ musical talents, and even visit with Santa!

This time of year also brings a well-deserved break for Galena Park ISD staff and students. All students will be dismissed early on Thursday, December 21^st. All Galena Park ISD buildings will be closed from Friday, December 22^nd to Friday, January 5^th. Our staff will return on Monday, January 8^th, for professional development, and students will return to school on Tuesday, January 9^th.

I wish everyone a time of peace and joy throughout this holiday season. I am excited about the new opportunities that await us upon our return in January as we start a great Spring semester and continue making Galena Park ISD…A Great Place to Be!  

Happy Holidays!

John Moore, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
