Attendance Matters!
Attendance Matters!

Galena Park ISD believes student attendance should always be a top priority! Remember the effects of missing school can impact all kids, no matter who they are or where they live. It can even affect students who attend school regularly, because it slows down the progress of an entire class. Let's all work together to help our students be successful and strive for perfect attendance.

Campus History

About Us

Located in the heart of the North Channel area in Greater East Harris County, along the magnificent Houston Ship Channel, and just 15 minutes away from downtown Houston, Texas, is W.C. Cunningham Middle School.  In 1979, the G.P.I.S.D. district formulated plans for a new middle school and construction began. The W.C. Cunningham Middle School, opened on the 29th of August 1982.

With pride, the school was named after a former G.P.I.S.D. superintendent, Mr. W.C. Cunningham.  Mr. Cunningham was not only known in the field of education but also as an oilman. His relationship with the oil fields of West Texas and Oklahoma gained him the nickname of Wildcatter. When the school was looking for an appropriate mascot, there was only one animal of choice—the Wildcat. Thus, we became the Cunningham Winning Wildcats and our school colors are Blue and White.
