Goose Creek School District Offers Innovative Teaching Grants


An entrepreneur and a registered nurse, Jeanne Shipp cofounded the Hospitality Health ER chain of freestanding emergency rooms and Patients Emergency Room (Patients ER) in Baytown, Texas. In August of 2018, Jeanne Shipp and the Patients ER team supported local educators and students through a $15,000 check to the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District (GCCISD).

The donation was part of Patients ER’s sponsorship of the GCCISD annual All-Star Gala. GCCISD’s mission is to support educational excellence with the aim of enhancing student achievement by funding educational programs and activities that have traditionally not been funded or have been underfunded.

GCCISD also offers Innovative Teaching Grants to recognize and encourage staff excellence and reward creative instructional approaches that contribute to meeting educational objectives. Given to teachers or teams of teachers who directly instruct students, the GCCISD Educational Foundation first awarded the grants in May of 2010. The awards are funded by contributions from the community, individuals, civic organizations, and businesses.
