History

Anna ISD's original colors were Blue and Gold until the 1950s, when TCU donated old uniforms to AHS.

Upon the closure of Westminster ISD the 1989–90 school year, students from Westminster were annexed into Anna and Van Alstyne ISDs. Conversely, prior to the 2004–05 school year Melissa ISD only educated students through grade 8, so students in that district went to high school at either McKinney High School (before Fall 2000), McKinney North High School (after Fall 2000) or Anna High School.

Due to the district's location along U.S. 75, it has outgrown several schools in its history.

1895- The current Administration Building opened as Anna High School.

1973- The northwest building of the current Anna Education Center (AEC) opened as a K–8 campus.

1988- The current Special Programs Center opened as Anna High School.

1989 - Westminster Independent School District merged into Anna ISD on July 1, 1989. [7]

1994- The southwest building of the current AEC opened as a K–5 campus.

1995- The southeast building, a gymnasium, of the current AEC opened for grades K–8.

1996- The northeast building of the current AEC opened housing PK and the PK–8 cafetorium.

2000- The current Slayter Creek Middle School opened as Anna High School. AMS moved to the 1988 facility, while Anna Elementary School took over the former middle school building.

2005- Joe K. Bryant Elementary opened as a 1−4 campus. PK-K and 5-6 stayed at the current AEC campus.

2007- Sue E. Rattan Elementary opened, with both elementary schools housing PK-5, closing AES.

2011- The current Anna High School opened as a 9−12 campus. AMS moved to 2000 campus and the Special Programs Center is created in its current home.

2013- The Early Childhood Center opened as a PK-K campus, with both elementary schools housing grades 1–5.

2017- Judith L. Harlow Elementary opened at the ECC site in August, replacing the ECC. All 3 elementary schools housed K−5, while Bryant Elementary also housed PK.

2018- Harlow Elementary moved into its new, permanent school building in January, leaving vacant the former ECC campus. Coyote Stadium underwent renovation, reopening as Anna ISD Stadium.

2019- Anna High School's expansion opened, bringing capacity up to 1350. The ECC site reopened as the Anna Education Center, housing grades PK and 6. AMS housed grades 7-8.

2022- Anna High School opened its second expansion, upping capacity to 1800. Rosamond-Sherley Elementary opened. PK was removed from the AEC and all elementary campuses housed grades PK-5. A November 2022 bond passed, funding future schools (ES #5-#8, MS #3-#4, and HS #2), new Administration Building and Service Center, land purchases, and another AHS expansion.

2023- Anna Middle School was renamed Slayter Creek Middle School. Clemons Creek Middle School opened. Both campuses housed grades 6-8. The AEC is closed.

At build-out, Anna ISD is expected to have three to four 1800-capacity high schools, eight 850-capacity middle schools, and sixteen 750-capacity elementary schools.

The district will change to a four day school week in fall 2023. [8]

Finances

As of the 2010–11 school year, the appraised valuation of property in the district was $504,279,000. [2] The maintenance tax rate was $0.104 and the bond tax rate was $0.050 per $100 of appraised valuation. [2]

Academic achievement

In 2011, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency. [6] Thirty-five percent of districts in Texas in 2011 received the same rating. [9] No state accountability ratings will be given to districts in 2012. [10] A school district in Texas can receive one of four possible rankings from the Texas Education Agency: Exemplary (the highest possible ranking), Recognized, Academically Acceptable, and Academically Unacceptable (the lowest possible ranking).
