NISD salutes graduates committed to military service

Northwest ISD honors members of the Class of 2025 who are making military plans by enlisting now or answering the call to serve after college.

More than 30 graduates, representing all four NISD high schools, have announced that they will be enlisting in the military. Others have earned appointments to U.S. military academies and college-level Reserve Officers’ Training Corps programs.

Summer opportunities in Northwest ISD

Still looking for summer plans? Many of Northwest ISD's summer learning opportunities still have spots available! Whether it's athletic camps, fine arts, enrichment activities or summer school, there’s something for everyone. Details for all summer programs can be found at www.nisdtx.org/summer.

Online enrollment for 2025-2026 remains open

Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is open now!

Enrollment is an annual requirement and doesn't roll over from the previous school year, but for returning families, the process is an easy three-step completion. The process is handled through Home Access Center via a guardian’s account, which results in previous registration information being completed.

Enrolling your child as early as possible is one way you can help your campus and the district prepare for next school year. Please visit www.nisdtx.org/enroll to learn more!

Become a guest educator (substitute) today!

Are you looking to make an impact in your community? Northwest ISD’s Guest Educators are absolutely vital in maintaining campus operations. No degree is required, free training is provided and hours are flexible!

Construction Updates: Justin and Prairie View elementary schools opening in August

Construction crews continue to make rapid progress on new schools that will help alleviate capacity for the next 8,400 expected new students in Northwest ISD!

Over the next two and a half years, schools will open across all grade levels to provide much-needed relief and prevent overcrowding. Read an update on all major projects approved by voters in the 2023 bond program in this news article.

The next campuses to open will be replacements for Justin and Prairie View elementary schools which will see their capacity increase from 650 to 850 students. Photos of progress from each campus can be found below. Additionally, photos of renovations at Northwest High School and progress at Barksdale Middle School (opening August 2026) are available.

Byron Nelson and Northwest recognized as PLTW Distinguished Schools

Two Northwest ISD high schools have been named 2024-2025 Project Lead The Way Distinguished Schools for their commitment to helping students thrive in STEM education.

Byron Nelson High School’s Biomedical Sciences Academy earned the honor for the second consecutive year, and Northwest High School’s STEM Academy also received the recognition.

Project Lead The Way is a nationally recognized organization that provides STEM curriculum used in several of Northwest ISD’s career academies. To receive Distinguished School status, campuses must meet a range of criteria — including offering PLTW courses, having high student participation and encouraging students to take multiple PLTW classes.
