Secondary Education in MISD

Students at the middle school and high school levels are encouraged to continue to build a strong academic foundation, while at the same time given the freedom to explore elective subjects and to develop their unique talents and interests.

The academic program of studies includes general, college preparatory and advanced level courses. In addition, the high school programs in MISD offer a multitude of career and technical education programs beyond the traditional core curriculum. Whether a student is interested in broadcasting and media, criminal justice, theatre, digital graphics and animation, health sciences, or any of the dozens of other courses offered they are certain to find their niche at a McKinney ISD middle and high school.

McKinney ISD teachers and staff are committed to teaching the “whole child” in our secondary schools. The secondary curriculum is consistent from campus to campus, ensuring a high quality education regardless of the school, yet allowing teachers the latitude to develop innovative strategies that are tailored to the individual child.
