Welcome to Waxahachie ISD
-
We are excited that you have chosen Waxahachie ISD for your educational journey. As a public school system, WISD welcomes all students living within the district's boundaries who meet the state's age and health requirements.
Waxahachie ISD students are designated schools according to their residential address. Exceptions include Wilemon STEAM Academy, Global High School, and High School of Choice which admit students through an application process, rather than by school zone. Marvin Biomedical Academy is a zone plus, choice campus with seats available via lottery. For more information about admissions to these schools, please contact the respective campuses.
All enrollment procedures may be completed online and the online enrollment option is highly encouraged.
If you need assistance with the process or prefer to enroll in person, please make an appointment.
