Welcome to our Roma ISD Web site, which is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help answer your questions and provide a foundation for your online relationship with members of your Gladiator Nation Family. If you haven’t done so already, please also join us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and information about your school district.

We are excited that your family is part of our Gladiator Nation community, which shares a rich tradition of academic and extracurricular excellence. Roma ISD helps more than 6,400 students learn and mature into the leaders of tomorrow.

At Roma ISD, our academic record speaks to the quality education students earn at our nine schools. With six Texas Honor Roll Schools, a Blue Ribbon School, top-ranking secondary schools and multiple regional and state qualifiers in academic UIL, there is no doubt that our Gladiators prove time and again that the education they earn makes them highly competitive in college and in the work force.

We offer a variety of activities to ensure our students have a well-rounded academic experience. Our fine art and sports programs are some of the finest in the Rio Grande Valley and are available to all students starting in the 6th grade, resulting in a legacy of state champions, state qualifiers and even national championships.

We also offer a variety of programs that allow students to engage in hands-on, technical training that not only lead to regional and state accolades, but also ensure students leave our doors career-ready.

All of this is available to you right here in your community. You make it possible. Thank you for sharing our Gladiator Nation Pride and know that my door and the door of all our Roma ISD staff is always open to you.

Best wishes,

Carlos M. Gonzalez Jr., Roma ISD Superintendent
