Whitewright High School

What Whitewright High School does

Whitewright High School is one of three campuses operated by Whitewright Independent School District (WISD), a public K-12 school district headquartered in Whitewright, Texas (315-A Highland Drive, PO Box 888, 75491), serving students across pre-kindergarten through grade 12 in a rural community spanning Fannin and Grayson counties. The district delivers Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)-aligned core academics, dual credit coursework through a partnership with Grayson College, and a comprehensive extracurricular portfolio spanning 12 high school athletics programs, FFA, FCCLA, BETA Club, band, and cheerleading. Support services include child nutrition (USDA-funded breakfast/lunch via My School Bucks), special education through the Grayson County Special Education SSA, ESL programming using Rosetta Stone, dyslexia services, district-provided transportation, and a dedicated WWISD Police Department.

The technology stack is built on Fortinet network security infrastructure (FortiGate 500e firewall with FortiSwitch and FortiAP components) supporting Google Workspace, the Ascender student information system, ParentSquare parent engagement platform, School Messenger emergency notifications, and an extensive set of digital learning tools (Google Classroom, Discovery Education, Odysseyware, iReady, Study Island, Eduphoria, TexQuest, Clever, EBSCO, Infobase, and StemScopes). Classroom technology includes Epson interactive projectors, Promethean ActivBoards, and Smart Boards.

As a governmental entity chartered under Texas law and governed by a seven-member elected Board of Trustees (Danielle Ragsdale as Board President, Tommy Henderson as Vice President, Bobby Worthy as Secretary), WISD is funded through three primary streams: Texas Education Agency per-pupil allocations, federal ESSA/Perkins/IDEA-B/ERATE grants, and local ad valorem property taxes. The district does not disclose revenue figures publicly. The Middle School campus received a 2024 National Blue Ribbon Campus designation from the U.S. Department of Education, and the district operates under a District of Innovation Plan covering 2022-2027.
