We Believe in Godley ISD’s tradition of excellence.

“At Godley ISD we believe that a quality education gives our students and community a solid foundation for a prosperous future. That’s why every one of our teachers and administrators work so hard to inspire, empower and challenge all learners so they achieve success inside and outside the classroom.

We don’t just believe in doing right by our students but also by the taxpayers we serve. With our wise and transparent management of district spending, our tax rate is 6.5¢ lower than in 2018 and the lowest it has been in 6 years.

I hope you will continue to believe in the potential of one of the best school districts in Texas.”

Godley ISD Superintendent


  • We Believe in maintaining our generations-old tradition of academic excellence by making sure every student on every campus has the support and resources needed to excel in the classroom. It’s the personal attention they receive from kindergarten through high school that has our graduates succeeding after graduation.

  • We Believe in the potential of our talented artists, athletes, musicians and future leaders. That’s why our passionate educators and coaches dedicate their expertise – often working overtime – to help our students showcase their talents on the stage, field and court and compete and perform with honor and integrity.

  • We Believe quality instruction and scholarly distinction begin with smart management of our budget and doing right by the taxpayers who fund our schools. Godley ISD has won numerous awards for financial transparency and for implementing cost saving programs for smart budgeting and cost-savings efficiencies.
