Elementary Education
Elementary education programs at Wise Elementary, Jackson Elementary and Kissam Intermediate focus on the mastery of basic reading, language arts, science, social studies and mathematics skills. In addition to the core curriculum, every grade level offers computer literacy, a gifted and talented program along with accelerated reading and math instruction. Additional curriculum areas include handwriting, health, and physical education.

Middle School
Chapel Hill ISD recognizes that middle school students are unique individuals, undergoing a series of physiological, psychological and sociological changes. To better encourage mature development, middle school students are organized into teams for their basic subjects, while allowing them the freedom to join others for their elective subjects. These electives include band, choir, computer literacy, career investigations, art and industrial technology. The middle school program also seeks to build student academic, social and communication skills to help prepare them for high school.

High School
Chapel Hill High School offers a well rounded curriculum that provides intellectual, creative and social stimulation for all students. The school’s varied curriculum offers students flexibility in choosing academic courses while exploring career opportunities and areas of special interest.

Students attend classes according to an eight period day with classes meeting every school day. The academic program of studies includes strands in general studies, college preparatory studies, advanced level courses, and career and technology courses. Students seeking  a more rigorous schedule may choose from over 17 pre-advanced placement (PAP) and advanced placement (AP) courses. They may also take dual credit courses that will allow students to receive college credit through Tyler Junior College.  Additional college credit can be acquired through Chapel Hill ISD’s partnership with NETNet, a consortium of 15 higher-education institutions throughout the East Texas area.

Special Education
Chapel Hill ISD provides specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. This includes adapting as necessary to meet the appropriate needs of an eligible student, the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the student’s unique needs and to ensure access of the child to the general curriculum.
