Leaving A Legacy

Galena Park ISD is a great place to be, and
honoring those who have achieved greatness
and sacrificed their time for our students and
community is part of our legacy.

Randy Weisinger, former North Shore High
School basketball coach, exemplifies the type
of educator Galena Park ISD holds in such high
esteem. Weisinger turned the gymnasium at
North Shore 9 Grade Center into his classroom
th
and delivered life lessons for over 12 years to his
students. Those life lessons will forever echo on
the basketball court, now formally known as the
Randy Weisinger Gymnasium. The Randy Weisinger Gymnasium

At the December 14, 2020, Board of Trustees meeting, Judge Joe Stephens, North Shore High
School alumnus, gave a public comment to propose renaming the North Shore 9 Grade
th
Center boys’ basketball gym after Randy Weisinger. The recommendation was submitted by
Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John Moore, and approved by the Board of Trustees at the
May 10, 2021, meeting.

Galena Park ISD hosted a naming ceremony on August 6, 2021, to unveil the gymnasium’s new
name. Weisinger was surrounded by his former GPISD colleagues, former basketball players,
family members, and the GPISD Board of Trustees for this special occasion.

The influence of Randy Weisinger and his tenure at Galena Park ISD cannot be understated. He
joins a long list of influential educators and community members who have made a difference
in the lives of Galena Park ISD children. We honor Mr. Weisinger and celebrate the many people
who have left an indelible mark on the history of Galena Park ISD.
