Welcome to El Paso ISD, where our commitment to military-connected students and their families is at the heart of who we are. With over 9,000 military-connected students enrolled across our schools, we understand the unique needs and strengths of families who serve. We are honored to provide a stable, supportive, and high-quality educational experience tailored to help each student thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our dedication is recognized across the state, with 63 of our schools proudly designated as Purple Star Schools—a distinction that highlights our leadership in creating welcoming, responsive environments for military families. These schools have demonstrated outstanding efforts in helping students transition smoothly, building strong family-school partnerships, and honoring the service of our nation’s military members.

Whether your family is new to the area or returning after a deployment, El Paso ISD is here to ensure you feel at home, supported, and connected. We’re more than just a school district—we’re a community that proudly stands with those who serve.
