District Highlights

Our partnership with TVCC allowed college-ready juniors and seniors to receive virtual dual credit courses until 2021 when EISD was able to offer face-to-face courses at the High School. A year later in 2022, college-ready freshmen joined the program as the students were clearly benefiting from face-to-face dual credit and concurrent courses funded by the district.

This foundation was established in 2021 and is supported by community members and local businesses to annually give three Elkhart High School graduates $2,500 to further pursue their education.

EISD has been intentional about providing our staff and students with technology resources necessary for learning. Our team has built an infrastructure to support the district and move from a 5:1 ratio to a 1:1 ratio of devices for students in grades Pre-K to 12. Our paraprofessional staff are provided laptops to assist in research and support for our teachers and students. Outdated projectors have been replaced with smart monitors while Special Education and Response to Intervention (RTI) classrooms now have Promethean Boards. We also have traditional computer labs to assist students with more complex instructional software and testing.

A facility management replacement schedule was developed in 2019-20 and has been maintained to assist with the upkeep of the district which has included adding on to our CTE building at the high school and building an Ag Pavilion by utilizing fund balance.

EISD staff are supported in many ways. Administrators listen to challenges and collaborate together to provide optimal solutions as well as ongoing feedback to staff members by highlighting glows and grows. Informal and formal walk-throughs and evaluations are completed to undergird student achievement and limit disruptive behaviors.

Elkhart ISD is recognized by TEA as an “A” District and our campuses have been the Reader’s Choice Best Schools in Anderson County for 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22. Additionally, in 2021-22 the Intermediate campus was recognized as one of the top 131 performing campuses in Texas and poised to become a National Blue-Ribbon School of which only 26 schools are awarded annually.
