With graduation just around the corner, McKinney ISD honored 45 seniors on Thursday, May 8, during its annual Distinguished Student Awards (DSA) Dinner at the MISD Community Event Center.
Held each spring, the DSA shines the spotlight 45 remarkable seniors from McKinney Boyd High School, McKinney High School and McKinney North High School to honor them for not only academic achievement but also for their commitment and dedication in a specific area—English, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, Career & Technology, Foreign Language, Fine Arts or Athletics—as well as At-Large honorees and the Valedictorian and Salutatorian from each school.
McKinney Independent School District is proud to announce that it has been ranked in the top 13 of school districts in Texas with student enrollment between 10,000 and 40,000, based on the 2024 STAAR data.

This achievement highlights the district’s unwavering commitment to providing high-quality education and fostering academic excellence for all students.

With more than 23,500 students currently enrolled, McKinney ISD's dedication to innovative teaching methods, community involvement and academic rigor has clearly set it apart from other districts of similar size.

The wild weather of the last few days held off as MISD held its 18th Annual Special Olympics Track & Field Meet at Ron Poe Stadium today. The district hosted participants from Allen, Sherman, Coppell and of course MISD's own McKinney Mavericks team!
The Special Olympics track meet is always one of the best days of the school year, and a host of MISD staff and student volunteers came together to make it a fantastic day for the athletes! Thank you to all of the sponsors and volunteers who made it all happen!

As National Autism Acceptance Month wrapped up last month, students at Vega Elementary came up with an amazing idea: let’s celebrate unique friendships and kindness on our campus - with a PARADE! The autistic population, alongside supporting friends and staff, walked the main hallway of Vega, handing out fun items and celebrating neurodiversity in their community.
