Texas City Independent School District is a public school district based in Texas City, Texas. It serves most of Texas City and La Marque as well as a portion of Tiki Island. In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency. Beginning in the 1870s, children in the small developing town of Texas City, Tx were educated in various locations throughout the city by an ever-changing staff of teachers, as there was no formal education system yet available to the town. This all changed, however, in December 1904 as the very first School Board of Trustees were elected and by January of the following year the new board established the Texas City Independent School District. The first formal school in TCISD, Central School, was housed in a small wooden building on 3rd Ave and educated students from first to eight grade. As the town quickly grew and Central School was outgrown, the town held and passed a bond election in 1910 to build Kohfeldt Elementary School on land which was donated by Franz Kohfeldt and would house students from the first through fifth grades, as well as the Wolvin School, which educated students from sixth through eleventh grades and was built at the intersection of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue N. on land donated by A.B. Wolvin. These two schools were both completed and opened in 1912, followed by the Gonne School in 1920 which was a two story office building converted to house the cities students in fifth, sixth and seventh grades. Also, in 1912, the cities first school for black students was opened at the First Baptist Church on first avenue with Mrs. Drucilla Kittrell teaching grades one through seven. More information...
