Miami Independent School District is a public school district based in Miami, Texas (USA).

It is the sole school district in Roberts County,[1] and a small portion of the district extends into Gray County.

Miami ISD has one school that serves students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve.

In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]

History

A former high school building was rendered useless after a 1969 tornado, so a new facility was built after that.[1]

In 2007 Donna Hale, of the Miami High School class of 1994, became the superintendent. As of 2017 she is still the superintendent.[1]

The voters approved a bond for $32 million for a new 124,000-square-foot (11,500 m2) school building in 2014; the decision of the rural Miami community to maintain its own school district and build a new school contrasts with other area communities which instead chose to consolidate with other area school districts.[1]

By 2017 the Miami ISD high school section began an early college program where students may take tertiary courses and receive associates degrees while graduating from high school.[1]
