Chapel Hill School District

What Chapel Hill School District does

Chapel Hill Independent School District (CHISD) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Mount Pleasant, Texas (Titus County), operating three campuses: Chapel Hill Elementary School (Pre-K through 5th grade), Chapel Hill Junior High School (6th through 8th grade), and Chapel Hill High School (9th through 12th grade). As a governmental entity accredited by the Texas Education Agency, the district serves students within a defined geographic catchment area, with enrollment driven by residency rather than commercial sales. It offers a comprehensive educational ecosystem that includes TEKS-aligned core instruction, eight CTE pathways (Animal Science, Applied Agricultural Engineering, Business Management, Culinary Arts, Digital and Multimedia Arts, Digital Communications, Plant Science, and Program Software Development), dual credit coursework with Northeast Texas Community College, and Special Education, dyslexia, and Section 504 services.

The district's supporting service portfolio includes library services (Accelerated Reader, SORA digital library, TEXQuest research databases), an athletics program branded Red Devil Athletics, "The Well" counseling and wellness department, a summer feeding program, and transportation. Operational technology is delivered entirely through third-party SaaS platforms: ParentSquare for district communications, MySchoolBucks for meal payments, AscenderTX/Gradebook for student records and parent portal, Securly for internet filtering, Clever for SSO, and Google and Microsoft 365 for productivity.

The district's revenue model is institutional rather than commercial. Funding flows from TEA per-pupil allocations based on average daily attendance, federal Title and ESSER grant programs, and local property taxes within district boundaries. Auxiliary revenue streams include student meal sales ($1.70 breakfast, $3.02 lunch, with reduced-price tiers), tuition-based full-day Pre-K programs, transfer and administrative fees, and a la carte/Smart Snacks cafeteria purchases. The Chapel Hill Education Foundation (CHEF), a 501(c)(3) established in 2003, supplements district resources through scholarships, grants, and an annual Go Big Red fundraiser backed by local business sponsors including American National Bank, CHRISTUS Health, and Toyota.
