History

In 1886 the Conroe Public School’s first classes were opened in a one-room school constructed of rough lumber near the present community of Beach. It was called Conroe Mill School and was open each year for a five-month term. The first African American school was located in Central Baptist Church at Medeley Quarters. The Conroe Independent School District was created by the Commissioners Court of Montgomery County, Texas, July 12, 1892, by consolidating the twelve Common School Districts surrounding Conroe. This area covered 25 square miles (65 km2). The 39th Legislature of the State of Texas in 1925 mandated the enlargement of the District by keeping intact the already defined 25 square miles (65 km2) and adding numerous other surrounding school areas bringing the district to 333 square miles (860 km2). On June 22, 1992, the annexation of 7,781 acres (31 km2) of Magnolia Independent School District increased Conroe ISD to the current size of 348.09 square miles (902 km2).

Prior to the 1925 consolidation, few rural children were able to attend high school. The first graduating class of Conroe High School, one male and three females, received their diplomas in 1902. The number of CISD graduates for the 2008-2009 school year was over 3,000 students from six high schools. In 2010, the school district was rated exemplary (see www.conroeisd.net/pdf/reportcard/current/129.pdf)
