A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR GHS FLUTIST ISABELLA LEZA

Last year, GHS Band Director Justin Smith nominated current GHS junior flutist Isabella Leza for the 2026 Full Flute Instruction Lesson Scholarship through the Austin Flute Society. Isabella was awarded a full year of flute instruction with flutist and teacher Kim Hart.

Isabella also received another special recognition: a custom Gemeinhardt open-hole flute with a B foot joint, solid silver body, and 10K gold-plated embouchure plate and headjoint interior, presented to her by Flutes Without Borders following a generous donation to the organization.

Kim Hart recognized Isabella’s dedication, joy in practicing and performing, and commitment to her music.

Congratulations, Isabella! We are proud to see your hard work and dedication recognized in such a meaningful way.

Flutes Without Borders is not affiliated with the Austin Flute Society, though members of both organizations helped make this opportunity possible.

A NIGHT OF TALENT BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Last Monday, GISD Fine Arts faculty traded their classrooms for the gallery and stage during the GISD Fine Arts Faculty Art Show & Recital at Hammerlun Auditorium.

From incredible artwork on display to an evening filled with music and performances, the event was a wonderful reminder that the people who inspire creativity in our students are artists and musicians themselves.

Our Fine Arts teachers spend their days encouraging students to create, perform, take risks, find their voice, and share their talents. It was pretty special to see our teachers doing the same.

Talk about bringing the energy to Homecoming! The Georgetown High School Georgettes brought down the house with their incredible, high-octane routine to AC/DC’s "Thunderstruck"—and the internet can’t get enough!

Performances like this set the field ablaze with sharp lines, incredible athleticism, and unmatched Eagle Pride. They truly demonstrate the dedication, leadership, and hours of hard work our student-artists invest every single day. Turn your volume UP and check out the electrifying routine everyone is talking about!

A NIGHT OF TALENT BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Who says Fine Arts teachers only make music and art with their students?

On Monday, September 28, GISD Fine Arts faculty from across the district will come together for an evening showcasing their own creativity and talents at Hammerlun Auditorium.

7:00 PM — Art Exhibit
Come explore artwork created by GISD Fine Arts faculty and see the incredible creativity happening beyond their classrooms.

7:30 PM — Recital Performance
Then, enjoy an evening of live music featuring GISD Fine Arts faculty from across the district.

These are the people who spend their days teaching students to create, perform, take risks, find their voice, and share their talents — and on this night, we get to see them do the same.

Come celebrate the artists and musicians who inspire our students every day.

Because apparently, our Fine Arts teachers really do You Can Do Both.

WHAT YOU SEE IS ONLY PART OF THE PICTURE.

These students are doing more than one thing. They're pursuing different passions, challenging themselves, and finding ways to grow.

But when we look at their Fine Arts experiences, we see even more.

We see leadership, confidence, discipline, creativity, communication, collaboration, courage, and perseverance.

We see students learning to listen, work together, take risks, step into leadership, and find their voice.

That's the beauty of giving students the opportunity to pursue more than one passion. Whether those passions are found on the field, on the stage, or in multiple Fine Arts spaces, each experience gives students another opportunity to grow.

What you see on the outside is only part of the picture. Fine Arts helps shape what happens on the inside, too.

Turns out, “doing both” can build a whole lot more.

Celebrating Our Creative Students

Nearly three out of four GISD students are tapping into their creative side this year!

That’s roughly 10,800 students enrolled in at least one Fine Arts class—whether they are picking up an instrument, stepping onto the stage, or bringing a visual masterpiece to life.

Seeing our students express themselves and grow through the arts is one of the best parts of what we do.

We would love to hear from you: What was the fine arts class that shaped your school experience? Share your favorite memories in the comments!

In GISD, choir is more than just singing — it’s a powerful community where students learn to listen deeply and connect with one another. From mastering breath control to weaving complex multi-part harmonies, students turn individual dedication into a unified, resonant sound.

Through choral music, students build emotional intelligence, resilience, and lifelong confidence while discovering the joy of artistic connection. These essential skills extend far beyond the stage — preparing them for college, careers, and collaborative leadership in any field.

What do Fine Arts teachers do in the summer? And what happens when summer comes to an end? They get back to learning, creating, and preparing for a new year!

As GISD teachers returned for professional development and in-service training this week, our elementary Art and Music teachers jumped right back into learning, collaboration, and preparing for the year ahead.

Our elementary Art teachers worked with guest presenter Lori Wallace exploring TAB (Teaching Artistic Behavior) classrooms and ways to encourage student choice, creativity, and active engagement. Teachers experienced the process firsthand through hands-on art centers and exploration of different materials and techniques.

Our elementary Music team learned with QuaverEd representative Nigel Croston, exploring new features, content updates, and instructional tools. As GISD's adopted elementary music curriculum, the training gave teachers new ideas for integrating QuaverEd into engaging, standards-aligned instruction. QuaverEd is also currently part of the Texas state instructional materials adoption process, making this an exciting time to explore what’s ahead.

From summer planning and collaboration to professional learning as we head back to school, our Fine Arts teachers continue investing in their craft—and ultimately, in our students.

The school year is almost here, and our Fine Arts teachers are ready!
