San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District

San Marcos CISD, in partnership with the parents and the community, will provide a quality education to all students, empowering them to pursue productive and fulfilling lives.

The public school system has been building brighter futures for San Marcos children and their families for over a hundred years. Although there is documentation of organized education in our area since the late 1840’s, the year 2007 marked the 130th anniversary of the incorporation of San Marcos on July 7, 1877, in large part to bring the state and federal funding that was needed to support the new school built for the community’s children. When the public schools came under the oversight of the city in 1877, there were 58 students enrolled and three school board trustees.

ISan Marcos CISD how has seven school board members and more than 1,150 teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, nurses, librarians, bus drivers, counselors, secretaries and administrators working together for the success of our approximately 7,500 students. Added to that number are the parents, community members, businesses, and university staff and students who will bring additional resources to our efforts.

The American educator and advisor to US president Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mary McLeod Bethune, advised citizens to “invest in the human soul. Who knows, it might be a diamond in the rough.” At SMCISD, we see our students as natural jewels who need the cutting, smoothing, and polishing that our team of educators provides to help young people achieve their true brilliance and value in society.
