Students
MWISD offers numerous academic and athletic extra-curricular activities. Service organizations, clubs, and academic contests provide for a well-rounded school experience. Junior high and senior high students participate in competitive academics and sports governed by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).

The Mineral Wells Independent School District is committed to excellence. Academic achievement is the top priority for MWISD’s 3,357 students. It is truly a place where the needs of the students come first.

The children of this historic community attend three elementary schools, one junior high, and one high school (4A). The district also has the Mineral Wells Academy, a well-established alternative education center. A total district staff of 509 provides a quality education for students.

Technology
Engage. Extend. Enrich.
The vision of the technology department at Mineral Wells ISD is to: Improve student engagement and outcomes through the provision and support of equitable and innovative technology. Mineral Wells ISD is a 1:1 school district where each PK-12 student has access to a computing device for engaging instruction. Our junior high and high school students can take a device (Chromebook) home each day, further extending their educational opportunities. We are continually improving and upgrading our classroom and common area presentation technologies, often incorporating wireless screen casting and/or interactive features, which contributes to an enriched learning environment.
Networking with Universities
The school district reaches beyond its boundaries by working with Tarleton State University and Weatherford College in various programs to bring dual credit classes and professional development opportunities to MWISD.

Academically gifted students in grades K-12 are accelerated programs to meet their needs. We have great fine arts and athletic programs. Ram Stadium has seating for over 7,000.
