Channelview Independent School District is a school district in Channelview, a census-designated place in an unincorporated area of Harris County, Texas, United States. As of 2022, CISD's superintendent is Dr. Tory C. Hill.
In 2010, the school district is rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
The district was established in 1937.
In the 2007âÂÂ08 school year, Channelview ISD combined the Primary and Elementary schools into KâÂÂ5 schools and Cobb Elementary took all 6th Grade students in the district. In the spring of 2008, CISD also opened the new Kolarik Freshman campus, right next to the current high school. Formerly, Channelview ISD operated on a KâÂÂ3, 4âÂÂ6, 7âÂÂ8, 9âÂÂ12 grade level split.
On May 4, 2019, Channelview ISD voters approved a $195.4 million bond package â the district's first in 10 years. This bond combined Cobb and Schochler Elementary into a completely new campus named McGhee Elementary while also rebuilding a brand new De Zavala Elementary. At the high school it added a new Career & Technical Education Center, Performing Arts Center and other renovations and additions to Athletics. Throughout the district it covered renovations to campus' HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical Systems, Driveways and other Interior Finishes while also contributing to the district as a whole with Security systems, Technology, Buses and Land Purchases.
McGhee Elementary was officially opened at the start of the 2022âÂÂ23 school year, De Zavala opened soon after for the 2024âÂÂ25 school year.
