Santa Rosa High School

What Santa Rosa High School does

Santa Rosa High School is the secondary campus (grades 9-12) of the Santa Rosa Independent School District (SRISD), a public K-12 school district headquartered in Santa Rosa, Cameron County, Texas, operating three campuses that collectively serve Pre-K through 12th grade. The high school is the flagship of a district whose technology stack is built on standard Texas public-school EdTech infrastructure: the Ascender Student Information System (hosted by ESC Region 1) for grades, attendance, and enrollment; ClassLink for single sign-on across digital learning platforms; Follett Destiny for library management; Renaissance Accelerated Reader and myON for reading; DMAC for assessment data analysis; and Microsoft Office 365 for staff productivity. The district has invested in a new Career and Technical Education (CTE) Building (grand opening March 2, 2026) supporting eight career pathways, and its academic portfolio includes an inclusive AP/Honors enrollment model plus a dual-enrollment partnership with Texas Southmost College that produced its first associate-degree graduating class in May 2026.

SRISD's business model is that of a Texas public school district: tuition-free education funded through a combination of local property taxes, state per-pupil allocations under the Foundation School Program, and federal grants (Title I, IDEA, ESSER). It supplements classroom instruction with the Texas ACE after-school program (free, grant-funded) at all three campuses, free breakfast and lunch for all students, and co-located student support services (special education, Section 504, dyslexia, health/nursing, and SHAC). The district's customer segments are its resident students and their families, with secondary engagement through community partners including the Texas Education Agency, Texas Department of Agriculture, USDA, Cameron County Department of Public Health, TSTC, and Texas Southmost College.

The district is governed by a publicly elected Board of Trustees with Dr. Isaac Rodriguez serving as Superintendent and Yolanda Chapa as Interim Superintendent/Title IX Coordinator. Communications and go-to-market consist of a district website (srtx.org), active Facebook/Instagram/YouTube accounts, the Ascender Parent Portal, and annual School Climate Surveys. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the district operates as a government entity with no private ownership, no venture backing, and no publicly traded instruments. The district is a consumer of best-of-breed EdTech rather than a developer, and AI/ML capabilities are not evident in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• National Heritage Academies: National charter management organization operating K-8 schools across multiple states; comparable to SRISD as a K-12 public school operator with a structured academic and character-education model, though not active in the Rio Grande Valley.

Direct peers
