About Our District
The Maypearl Independent School District is located west of Waxahachie and south of Midlothian in scenic Ellis County. More than 1,200 students attend one of MISD's three campuses: Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary (PK-4), Maypearl Middle School (5-8), and Maypearl High School (9-12). The 84 square mile district is growing in student population.
A fiscally sound district, Maypearl ISD offers a wealth of academic and extracurricular opportunities for students. Elementary students participate in art, music and computer applications on a regular basis. Middle school students are offered art, music, band, theater, technology applications, leadership, and courses in CTE for college and career readiness. Qualifying eighth graders have an opportunity to take Algebra I for high school credit. Maypearl High School offers five endorsement programs with electives in engineering, agriculture, the fine arts, computer science, culinary sciences, a variety of certifications through partnerships with Navarro College and Texas State Technical College. Academically eligible students may choose to take classes through Maypearl High School's Panther Academy, which is a dual credit program. The Panther Academy guides students through a course of study that will satisfy both high school graduation requirements and requirements for an associate’s degree from Navarro College.
Extracurricular activities include academic UIL, student government, marching & jazz bands, winter guard, UIL One Act Play, FFA, as well as athletics. The Maypearl Panthers play football, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, golf, compete in powerlifting, run cross country, compete in track and field events, and cheer. Maypearl's athletic facilities are among the best in our 3A conference district. The Panthers played our first season on the new artificial turf football field and track in 2014, and both were replaced again in 2022. The district is one of very few in the state with an indoor golf practice facility, and a tennis court built in 2018.
A $35 million dollar bond was passed in May 2023 that will replace half of the Maypearl High School campus, while adding state of the art science labs, a culinary lab, and five additional classrooms for added capacity to the campus. This bond also adds five classrooms at Maypearl Middle School, with two of them being state of the art science labs, and both the MHS and MMS campuses will now have storm shelters. Both additions opened in Fall 2025.
Maypearl ISD is a smaller district that offers great opportunities for all students in a hometown environment. We may be small, but we have a big future ahead!
