Georgetown ISD Seeks Feedback to Name Fourth High School
Georgetown Independent School District is seeking nominations to name its fourth high school, a project that was approved by voters during the May 2024 bond election.
The new campus, located on the district’s west side off of D.B. Wood Road, is currently under construction and scheduled to open in the fall of 2028.
“Naming a school is a meaningful opportunity to honor the people, history, and values that shape our community,” said Superintendent Devin Padavil. “As Georgetown ISD continues to grow, we are honored to invite our community to share ideas that capture the spirit of Georgetown.”
