History

The school district is traceable to 1922 when a single elementary facility opened on Deer Park's Center Street along Highway 225. In 1929, the small school was greatly expanded, and additional facilities were created in neighboring areas. The district was officially formed for the school year of 1930, and today it serves most of Deer Park, a portion of Pasadena and La Porte, and the unincorporated area of Lynchburg. Its total enrollment is approximately 12,300 students.
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
