The Celina Independent School District occupies 94 square
miles in northwest Collin County and a small area in Denton
County. The District is comprised of three communities: Celina,
Alla and Weston. Alla and Weston, previously independent school
districts, consolidated with Celina in the 1950s and 1960s.
Student enrollment since the 1998-99 school year has increased
37%. Student attendance averages 96.9%. The dropout rate for
the 2001-02 school year was 0%. Students are educated in four
buildings: a grade PK-3 elementary school built in 2003; a
grade 4-6 intermediate school built in 1987; a grade 7-8 junior
high school built in 1976; and a grade 9-12 high school built
in 1998, with additions made in 2002 & 2003.
The District participates in several cooperative educational
programs, administered through the Region 10 Educational Service
Center, to provide the best available programs for students
and staff in the most cost effective manner. In addition to
an extensive honors and advanced placement curriculum, the
District offers a gifted and talented program for all grade
levels and the option of graduating with a Distinguished Achievement
diploma. The high school houses the Celina Community Library,
a cooperative effort between the District and the Community
of Celina.
The District continues to implement programs that improve
learning and benefit students. The District has updated technology
resulting in computer technology for instructional and administrative
use. Individualized reading programs are present at all campuses.
Learning centers and remedial programs also exist to assist
students and improve performance.
