With a clear Vision for our future, we know our staff and our students are ready to do the work in order to have a great year. During the 2021-22 school year we will be celebrating Ector County ISD’s 100th birthday! Officially, it is August 18, however, activities and events are scheduled for throughout the year.

Because the health and the safety of our staff and our students is top priority, we continue to monitor COVID-19 guidance from the CDC, State of Texas, Texas Education Agency, UIL, and local health/medical experts.

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 10, for all students except: 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders. This will allow 6th graders and 9th graders – two sets of students who traditionally struggle during the transition to a new, bigger campus – to have two days to acclimate to the new school, new teachers and new expectations.

The first day of school for 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders is Thursday, August 12.
