Conroe Independent School District (CISD) is a school district in Montgomery County, Texas. The current superintendent has been Dr. Curtis Null since June 2018.[3] As of April 2024, Conroe ISD was the 9th largest school district in Texas and 60th largest in the United States.[4]

The district's headquarters are located in the Deane L. Sadler Administration/Technology Center in Conroe.[5] The CISD area, which covers 348 square miles (900 km2), is part of the Lone Star College System (formerly the North Harris Montgomery Community College District).

For the 2018–2019 school year, the district received a score of 89 out of 100 from the Texas Education Agency.[6]

History

[edit]

The first school within Conroe ISD's current boundaries was built in 1886 and called, "Conroe Mill School." The building had one room and was open for five months each year. A school for African American students was started soon after inside a Baptist church. The school district was created on July 12, 1892 by order of the Commissioners Court of Montgomery County, who appointed the County Judge and three trustees to oversee the district's operations.[1] A new school was built in 1899 and initially housed 10 grades.[7] In 1902, one male and three females were the first students to receive high school diplomas. In 1911, taxpayers approved a $25,000 bond for the construction of the district's first brick building, the JOH Bennette school.[7] In 1925, the Texas State Legislature expanded the size of the district from 25 to 333 square miles. The oldest school still in operation is Travis Intermediate School, formerly Crockett High School, built in 1926.[1] In 1954, Booker T. Washington High School opened as a school for African American students.[7] Crockett High School students were moved to the current Conroe High School campus in 1964. From 1968–1969, Conroe ISD's campuses were desegregated.[7]
