What Celina Intermediate School District does

Celina Independent School District is a public K-12 school district located in Celina, Texas, 30 minutes north of Frisco, governed by an elected seven-member Board of Trustees and overseen by the Texas Education Agency. It serves approximately 5,478 students across seven campuses spanning Pre-K through grade 12 within a 96-square-mile attendance boundary. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Tom Maglisceau (appointed 2019) and an executive cabinet including a Senior Chief, Chief Academic Officer, Chief of Business Resources, and Chief Technology Officer.

The district's core educational products include a Career & Technical Education program with 60+ courses across 14 career clusters (90% middle/high school participation), a Collegiate Academy dual-credit partnership with Collin College enabling students to graduate with an Associate's Degree, 20 UIL-sponsored activities, comprehensive athletics anchored by 33 state championships, and fine arts programs. Support services include Skyward-powered enrollment and family access, SchoolCafe food services, transportation with live bus locator, a Cook Children's Virtual Health pediatric telemedicine partnership, special education, and the Partners in Education mentor program. The technology stack is a third-party SaaS composition: Finalsite website platform, Skyward student information system, SchoolCafe meal management, Peachjar digital flyer distribution, and Cook Children's virtual health integrations.

Celina ISD operates as a government state entity funded primarily through local property taxes, state foundation program funding, and voter-approved bond measures. Tuition is free for in-boundary residents, and the district does not disclose operating revenue. A $2.295 billion Bond 2025 package — supporting construction of one new high school, two middle schools, seven elementary schools, and an early childhood school — was called by the Board in May 2025 to address hyper-growth driven by 800+ people/month in-migration and 12,500+ projected new homes in five years. The district carries an S&P AAA long-term rating and AA- underlying rating, a Superior rating from the Texas Education Agency's Financial Integrity Rating System, and a recently granted District of Innovation designation providing expanded operating flexibility.
