Greetings from Pettus ISD!
I began my career in education in the fall of 1988 in Rio Grande City, Texas. With over three decades of dedicated service in education, I have remained deeply committed to student success and advancing educational excellence throughout my journey.
For 21 of those years, I had the privilege of serving as a District Administrator, leading campuses that ranged from Pre-K through 12th grade. During my tenure, I was incredibly proud to guide the high school to earn recognition as a National Blue Ribbon High School, a testament to my commitment and focus to academic excellence and student achievement.
In the summer of 2018, I transitioned from the public school system to serve as the Head Start Director for Bee, Goliad, Live Oak, and Refugio counties, expanding my focus on the critical foundation of early childhood education.
In the fall of 2022, I returned to public education at Pettus ISD – proudly known as the prettiest small district in Texas, where we teach Eagles to Soar. I continue to be committed to fostering academic excellence and helping every student soar to their full potential.
Committed to student success,
Anna Marie Garcia

Texas Academic Performance Report
The Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) provides detailed information about the performance of students in each school, district, and across the state. It includes data on test scores, student demographics, graduation rates, and other important indicators that help parents and communities understand how schools are doing.
Texas Education Code 39.053 requires each district's Board of Trustees to publish an annual report that includes the TAPR Report, campus performance objectives, a report of violent or criminal incidents, and information received under the Texas Education Code 51.043(e) from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The Board of Trustees shall hold a public discussion of the report and shall widely disseminate the report within the district.
This report is a key source for parents, providing a clear picture of academic progress and areas where schools are excelling or may need improvement. It is updated annually and is required by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to ensure transparency and accountability in public education.
