About WHARTON ISD

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Wharton ISD’s motto is “Making a Difference” and we have! The administration and teaching staff are very proud of the difference our students have made this past year in academics, athletics, fine arts, and vocational education. WISD students competed in all of these areas at the state level. Our facilities are better, more attractive, and most importantly, safer than ever before. We will keep raising the bar ourselves until all of our schools are either Recognized or Exemplary. We are on a definite path of improvement as we propel all of our students to excellence.
