Your Child's Health Matters

The Georgetown ISD Health Services staff believes that the ability for students to learn is directly related to the status of their health. Students with unmet health needs will have a difficult time engaging in the educational process. Georgetown ISD understands this and provides a professional registered nurse on every campus with the goal of promoting optimum health for all students and staff.
