Campus Description: The Maypearl Independent School District is located west of Waxahachie and south of Midlothian in scenic Ellis County. More than 1,100 students attend one of the four campuses: Maypearl Primary School (PK-1), Lorene Smith Kirkpatrick Elementary (2-5), Maypearl Middle School (6-8), Maypearl High School (9-12). The 84 square mile district is growing in student population.<br /> <br /> A fiscally sound district, Maypearl ISD offers a wealth of academic and extracurricular opportunities for students. Elementary students participate in art, music and computers 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 8th graders have an opportunity to take Algebra I for high school credit. Maypearl High School offers all five endorsement programs with electives in engineering, agriculture, the fine arts, computer science, family and consumer sciences, and certificate programs in Cosmetology and Paralegal Studies through a partnership Navarro College. Academically eligible students may choose to take classes through Maypearl High School's Panther Academy, which is a dual credit program.

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. The district is one of very few in the state with an indoor golf practice facility, and a new tennis court was added in 2017-2018.<br /> <br /> Maypearl ISD is a smaller district that offers great opportunities for our students in a hometown environment. We may be small, but we have a big future ahead!<br /> <br /> TRADITION ~ PRIDE ~ PURPOSE
