Groesbeck Independent School District

What Groesbeck Independent School District does

Groesbeck Independent School District (GISD) is a public K-12 school district established in 1871 and incorporated in 1890, serving students across a 528-square-mile service area covering Limestone, Falls, and Robertson Counties in Texas. The district operates four campuses — H.O. Whitehurst Elementary (PK-3), Enge-Washington Intermediate (4-6), Groesbeck Middle School (7-8), and Groesbeck High School (9-12) — plus the Kids Kare Academy childcare center (a 4-star Texas Rising Star provider), the Red Goat Cafe student-run internet cafe, and a Maintenance Department supporting more than 375,000 square feet of facilities that processed 2,470+ work orders and 671 preventive maintenance orders annually.

Beyond core instruction, GISD operates an extended portfolio of programs including Career and Technology Education (CTE), Special Education services, the federally funded ACE (Afterschool Centers on Education) program for K-6 students delivered in partnership with ESC Region 12, athletics, band and fine arts, gifted and talented (GT) programs, ESL services, and dual-credit college courses via a partnership with Navarro College. The district participates in the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), providing free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students. Technology infrastructure is operated in-house by the Technology Department using the ASCENDER student information system, Eduphoria for help-desk support, Apptegy for the website and mobile app, MySchoolBucks for cafeteria payments, Hudl for athletic streaming, and Hometown Ticketing for event ticketing.

Revenue is sourced from the standard Texas public school triad: local property taxes administered through the Business Office, state funding formulas tied to average daily attendance and weighted student populations, and federal grants (Title I Part A, Title II Part A, ESSER, Carl Perkins CTE, Rural and Low-Income School Program). Governance rests with a seven-member elected Board of Trustees (five single-member districts plus two at-large) that employs Superintendent Scott Cummings and a central administrative team. The district charges no tuition to resident students.
