Mesquite Independent School District – Inspiring Excellence. Empowering Potential.
Located in the heart of east Dallas County, MISD serves more than 38,000 students across 52 campuses in Mesquite, Garland, Balch Springs and parts of Dallas.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to educate every child, to challenge every learner and to ensure every student has the tools and opportunities to succeed in college, career and life. We believe when we raise the bar for our students, we raise the bar for our entire community.
Why Choose MISD?
Employer of Choice: We’re honored to be ranked among the best. In 2024, Forbes recognized MISD as one of the “Best Employers in Texas” (No. 56) and one of the “Best Employers for Women” (No. 65), placing us among the elite school districts committed to exceptional workplace culture and inclusive opportunity.
With more than 75% of our workforce comprised of women, and a focus on support, growth and belonging, our people are our greatest asset.
Continuous Academic Momentum: We’re not resting on our laurels. MISD achieved an overall “B” rating from the Texas Education Agency in 2025 — an improvement of a full letter grade. Forty percent of our campuses improved by at least one letter grade this year, and no campus received an F.
Broad, Diverse Community Impact: Serving a large and dynamic region, MISD spans about 60 square miles in East Dallas County, with elementary, middle and high schools, plus alternative pathways to meet a wide range of student needs.
Our Promise
As a district, we pledge to foster a culture where educators and staff feel valued and empowered, where students are challenged and supported, and where families are true partners in success.
We invite educators, staff and community members passionate about making a difference to join us. At MISD, you’ll find meaningful work, professional growth, and the chance to be part of a district that believes in every student and celebrates every success.
