Relax, your meeting worries are over!)

Superintendent Dr. Janice Cooper of Lake Worth ISD, who visited GCR with a team of almost thirty principals, assistant principals and department heads, says "Garrett Creek Ranch was the perfect place for us to hold our back-to-school in-service. I had visited the ranch before. When planning for last summer, I knew right where to book. The Ranch's pricing met our needs while still providing us with a top class facility. The food was excellent, the rooms and surroundings just beautiful, and the service was exceptional. Whether we needed another magic marker or extra tables and chairs, the GCR team took care of us around the clock and treated us like royalty. At Garrett Creek Ranch we were able to meet uninterrupted by the distractions of school and office base. We accomplished an incredible amount of work. While many of us work together all of the time, rarely do we get to be together for any real length of time. Getting to know each other, and to understand each other's hopes for the new school year proved fruitful. We went from 7am to 11pm and the beauty of the Ranch, both inside and out, was conducive to accomplishing much in a short period of time, while still feeling relaxed. Education is a challenging field. Coming together in the tranquility of this space allowed us to ready for the new year, to be enthusiastic about our approach, and to be ready to give our students the very best we have to share."
