The overview
GISD’s enrollment grew by more than 3,000 students over the last decade, according to the Texas Education Agency. That growth is expected to more than double with GISD projected to gain 6,000 additional students over the next 10 years. “Georgetown is going to be a fast-growth district for the foreseeable future,” Templeton said. An abundance of undeveloped land has attracted developers to the Georgetown area, Tem- pleton said. The district has around 3,150 vacant lots that are currently ready for builders to start developing and nearly 23,600 additional vacant lots planned for future developments. Addition- ally, more jobs have come online in Georgetown through new distribution centers and manufactur- ing companies. GISD parent and alumna Laura Kincheloe said Georgetown’s supportive community and fami- ly-friendly environment are what attracted her and her husband to raise their family in GISD.
