Come to work at our campus and become part of an award-winning district and #TheGISDEffect.  

There are many schools in Garland, but only one campus allows you to be an All-Star!  Abbett Elementary is a great place to learn and grow!  We think you should choose Abbett, and here's why:

• We serve a diverse population of students who speak over 30+ different languages. 
• We offer exceptional outdoor educational opportunities.  Abbett is a certified wildlife habitat and monarch butterfly stop.  Our students engage in outdoor activities in our outdoor classroom, planting days, and Seeds and Stories Day. 
• We are an AVID campus (Advanced Via Individual Determination) and implement strategies to help students prepare for college and careers. 
• Our P.T.A. is thriving!  They offer so many exceptional activities throughout the year and support classrooms and teachers through grants, special days, and providing classroom supplies. 
• We have a strong character development program in which students are rewarded for their responsibility, positive attitude, kindness, good manners, and honesty. 

Ready to apply?  We would love to speak with you!  Reach out to Mrs. Blackman, Abbett Elementary Principal, at SBlackman@garlandisd.net
