Welcome to Rattler Stadium… wel come to Navasota ISD… and welcome to Navasota, Texas, USA!
We are so excited about this upcom ing 2022-2023 school year and all the opportunities for success that it holds.
2. To provide the highest quality of ed ucation to help our students and our staff be successful in what they do – both now and in the future. Along with those priorities, part of our Mission Statement reads… “As a multi-cultural, professional community, the district provides equitable experiences for students to participate in a rigorous curriculum using the latest technology in quality facilities.”
This past year, we finally reached the completion of the remaining Bond 2017 projects as Phases Three, Four, and Five were all completed! From the “boring stuff,” such as replacing roofs and HVAC systems, to the “exciting stuff,” such as our brandnew Career & Technology Education (CTE) Center, new Science classrooms and labs, and additional classroom wings on some of our campuses to provide for much needed room to grow. We are excited to announce that all of our Bond 2017 projects were completed on time and under budget!

In addition to the academic campuses, the Career & Technology programs, and the Fine Arts facilities, the athletic facilities have also seen a major renovation across the board. These are just a few of many great projects that have gone on through out Navasota ISD over the past several years.Someone once said, “It only takes a few seconds to tear something down, but it takes years to build something great!” We are ALL a part of the wonderful atmosphere and activities that are going on not only in Navasota ISD, but also in the Navasota community. We are ALL on the same team and we ALL bring important talents and abilities to the “huddle.” The important thing to remember is that it takes ALL of us work ing together, pulling in the same direction, and building each other up, in order to be “GAME CHANGERS!”
