In addition to basic instructional programs, the District offers special education, gifted and talented, bilingual/ESL, remedial, college preparatory, career and technical programs, and an international baccalaureate program. The District is fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). A high degree of professionalism exists among our employees, and an on-going recognition of student and staff excellence contributes to this environment. The instructional program is geared toward having the student meet or exceed grade level expectations. Emphasis is placed on higher level thinking skills, including research methodologies and independent, complex and critical thinking skills. Woodcreek Middle School (WMS) attracts highly qualified personnel because of its commitment to excellence.
