Mission CISD is a recognized leader in college and career readiness in the Rio Grande Valley with a comprehensive curriculum to meet the needs of all students. Educational excellence is available to each student whose parents choose to send their children to a Mission CISD school. Our employees are committed to providing excellence in education in order to give each child the opportunity for success.
Mission CISD consists of roughly 41 square miles tucked along the Texas/Mexico border in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. We serve almost 16,000 students in the City of Mission and the neighboring communities of Alton and Palmhurst. The district employs about 2,100 people. We have two high schools (one 4A, one 5A), four junior high schools (grades 6-8), 14 elementary schools (grades PK-5), a Newcomers Academy for recent immigrants in grades 2-5, an Options Academy to give qualifying students a second change, and an alternative school to serve students considered to be at-risk. In August 2011, Mission CISD plans to open an Early College High School Program called Mission Collegiate High School.
No matter which school attended, our students have the opportunity to enroll in a challenging and rigorous curriculum that begins with our open enrollment Pre-Kinder programs. Unique partnerships and programs with UTPA and STC help encourage our graduates to go on to some sort of post-secondary education.
Not a resident of our district? No problem! We accept qualified, out-of-district transfers, without any tuition fees.
