Beyond educating students, Rockwall ISD strives to have a positive impact on the greater Rockwall community. The community spirit is evident in attendance at school-sponsored activities.  Community members feel welcome to visit our schools and mentor students.

The Department encourages collaborative relationships with businesses, community members, parents and students by providing opportunities of life-long learning through Rockwall ISD’s Community Education Program. This relationship between the district and community is vital to the success of our students, teachers, businesses, and city government.

We invite you to explore and read our articles and publications. Feel free to contact our department if we may assist you.
