It comes as another documentary about Goodes, premieres in Melbourne on Thursday night.
The first documentary, The Final Quarter, premiered at the Sydney Film Festival on June 7.
The film used exclusively archival footage, the film showed the booing and abuse he faced in his last three years with AFL side the Sydney Swans.
Having since been shown on free-to-air television, The Final Quarter will be donated to every school and registered sporting club in Australia for them to show to their communities.
Horsham College principal Rob Pyers said while the school had no specific plans to acquire the documentary and associated resources at this stage, he considered the film "very appropriate" for pupils.
"I would say it's almost compulsory viewing at the school given Adam attended," he said.
"It's imperative we acknowledge his time here and the experiences he had. I'm a big believer that history provides the opportunity to learn for the future, and we have to learn from whatever resources are available the impact our own behaviours can have on other people. We are an organisation that caters for all people."
Mr Pyers said all schools in the Wimmera and others across the state were undergoing cultural awareness training. He said the school would then consult with the region's traditional owners about how to best present indigenous knowledge to students.
"We are always open for discussion with families about these sorts of initiatives," he said.
"Adam is an example of a person and we are proud of him."
The second documentary is titled The Australian Dream, and premieres at the Melbourne international Film Festival tonight.
In addition to archival footage, this film features interviews with Goodes, other indigenous athletes, AFL figures, politicians and media figures.
The company behind the work, goodthing productions, said the aim was to unpack Australia's relationship with racism and ability to confront its past.
It will be released nationwide on August 22.
