Mission Statement

  • "Quality Learning Today for Tomorrow"

    We will commit our financial, educational, and personnel resources to equip all students with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop to their fullest potential as self-motivated, life-long learners.

Welcome from our Superintendent

  • Hyatt On behalf of the volunteers who serve on the Board of Education, our faculty, staff, and students, it is my privilege to welcome you to our new and improved Gainesville School District Website.  We hope you will find all of the information you need while easily navigating our pages.

    Gainesville is an excellent school system made of outstanding faculty, a wonderful student body, and a school community that values high quality education.  We take great pride in our achievements and are passionate about the opportunity and service we provide to every one of our students.

    As you navigate the pages of our website you will find a wealth of information about our schools, programs, and much more.  Although many of the pages on our website include contact information, you may find some of your questions are not answered.  If so, please do not hesitate to contact the supervisor of the department you are interested in learning more about.  If you are unsure of who to contact, please reach out to any building level administrator for assistance.  

    Thank you for your continued support of our school district.
