School Liaison

Goodfellow AFB resides in Tom Green Co. Our local school districts are encompassed in Region 15 covering 25,224 square miles and impacting the lives of 49,364 Pre-K – 12th grade students. The number of Military Connected Students (MCS) in the region is about 1,351 but at any time can vary from 1,000 – 5, 000!  The Region has 453 campuses in 43 independent school districts to include charter schools. Each district supports around 7,227 school staff.  The majority of our military connected students attend San Angelo ISD (SAISD), Texas Leadership Academy (TLCA)- FREE Charter, Wall ISD and Christoval ISD. Some of our MCS attend a private/parochial school or are home-schooled.  With all of Region 15’s Pre-K – 12 education you can find gifted and talented campuses as well as special needs services.  Each military family’s needs are unique and the San Angelo community understands and support this. They recognize that the military family transitions on an average 6-9 times during a child’s school career.  Each school campus or district is able to work with our military families thus ensuring an overall successful educational experience during their time at Goodfellow AFB!
