History Goose Creek Independent School District was organized in 1919 and served the tri-cities of Pelly, Goose Creek, and Baytown. The district launched its first building program in 1921 with the passing of a $200,000 bond issue for the purchase of land and construction of five schools. In 1938 the Highlands community, previously in Crosby ISD, joined the Goose Creek district. Robert E. Lee High School opened in 1928 and was named in honor of Robert E. Lee, the military commander of the Confedererate Army. In 1954, Goose Creek ISD consolidated with Cedar Bayou ISD to form Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (GCCISD). GCCISD became desegregated in 1967 and George Washington Carver High School was closed. In 2002 the district changed scheduling for all schools. Infrastructure For several years of research and debate, voters passed a $120 million bond referendum in 2005 to improve present facilities, replace several existing schools, and build new ones. Included in this package is a third high school (which was included in a 1999 referendum, but never materialized) named Goose Creek Memorial that opened in Fall 2008. Additionally, Victoria Walker Elementary was opened in fall 2007, with plans for a 16th elementary to be drawn. Both new schools are situated in the north area of Baytown which has seen the most growth in recent years. Highlands Junior High and Bowie Elementary were replaced under the bond program. After the opening of Goose Creek Memorial, Lee High School will be reformatted to a smaller campus and the auxiliary campus will be converted to its original purpose as an alternative educational center. Additionally, the district added new classrooms and improved its football stadium. GCCISD's Stallworth Stadium is the home for varsity football and soccer for GCCISD as well as for the annual Bayou Bowl. It seats
