About Our School...
Galveston Elementary, home of the Lions, has served the central Chandler community for 60 years, opening our doors in 1963 as one of the first elementary schools in the Chandler Unified School District. As a dedicated community of educators, students, parents, and volunteers, Galveston has set our vision to focus on Lion Pride, community engagement, and overall student wellness. We are accomplishing this vision by meeting the individual needs of our students with compassion and helping them
recognize academic growth and potential. As we transition into our new campus, we will engage students with classroom practices that include: quality service learning experiences, rigorous and relevant teaching, reading and writing connections across all content areas, and happy classrooms. We are proud of our community school, and we invite you to choose Galveston and become part of our community where “Lion Pride is deep inside!”
