Community Independent School District

The Community Independent School District was created in 1947 through the consolidation of the Josephine, Lavon, Nevada, Mt. Pisgah, Millwood, and McMinn school districts. Copeville’s district later joined, further expanding the district’s coverage. In 1974, CISD became an independent district. ==Academic achievements==

In 2009, the Texas Education Agency rated CISD as "academically acceptable". ==Recent developments==

In recent years, the district has experienced growth due to the increasing population in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, which has led to the development of new facilities and the expansion of existing campuses to accommodate the rising number of students. ==Extracurricular activities==

The district offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including team and individual sports, music and arts programs, and academic clubs. ==Schools==
