Congratulations to all NISD seniors who have walked the stage and are now moving on to their next chapter!

Senior walks and award ceremonies

Before graduation, seniors took part in numerous events to celebrate their accomplishments! The Class of 2024 walked the halls of their former Northwest ISD elementary and middle schools in Senior Walks, took part in senior award ceremonies and much more.

Enroll now for next school year!

Online enrollment is now open for the 2024-2025 school year, and families can complete an easy 1-2-3 process for returning students to quickly register their children.

Enrollment is open for all children – pre-kindergarten and up – whether they are currently enrolled, returning to the district after leaving or brand new to Northwest ISD. For families of currently enrolled students returning next year, the process will take just a few minutes with the following quick, three-step process outlined on this page.

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!

Summer Opportunity Highlight

Creative Problem-Solving (DI) Camp

Join us at Creative Problem-Solving Camp the week of June 17. Students will work in teams to find a creative solution to a challenging situation. They'll have the chance to write a script, build a set, create pops, and design costumes, all culminating in a showcase. 

This camp is open to students just finishing 3rd - 8th grades. Our Camp Director has been involved with Destination Imagination for decades and is fresh off a trip to Global Finals in Kansas City. She and her team of camp teachers have put together a week full of fun and creativity that your child won't want to miss out on.

Free summer meals begin next week

Northwest ISD will again offer free summer meals to children who are ages 18 or younger as well as students with disabilities who are ages 21 and younger as part of the federal Summer Food Service Program.

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). For the children who rely on school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition when school is out for the long summer vacation.

Meals will be served June 5-30 at Prairie View and Clara Love elementary schools. Click here for more information, including serving times.

New campuses opening in 2024-2025

When students return to campus for the 2024-2025 school year on Wednesday, August 15, many will do so in new campuses.

The new Gene Pike Middle School will replace the existing campus almost entirely, with the new building being located next to the existing building’s current location. Upon completion, the existing building will be removed, though some athletic facilities will be retained.

Alan and Andra Perrin Elementary School will open its doors in August and become the district's 23rd elementary school. Located in the Wildflower Ranch master-planned community off S.H. 114, the school's colors will be orange and teal, and the mascot will be the Panthers.

Steele ECHS student wins school's first UIL State Championships

For the first time in school history, James M. Steele Early College High School is the home of a UIL State Champion. In just their second year competing as an Academic UIL campus, the Stallions had four students travel to Austin earlier this month for the UIL Academic and Speech State Championships, with senior Conner Childs coming home with two state championships.

Conner won gold medals in the 2A UIL Chemistry and UIL Physics competitions. He also placed third overall in UIL Science while Yash Gupta placed third in UIL Chemistry. 

The pair were part of Steele ECHS’ four-student science team that took home the silver medal. Conner and Yash were joined on the team by Lucas Hawkins and Conner Hallock.
