Hidden between the metropolis of Houston and the growing East Fort Bend County, Stafford Municipal School District maintains its small-school environment while addressing educational needs of the 21st century. What began as a grassroots mission with 547 students has evolved into a mid-sized public school district with an  average student enrollment of 3,250. The tree-lined complex is home to five campuses, addressing the instructional needs of students from early childhood development through twelfth grade. Stafford High School offers dual credit courses with Houston Community College Southwest as well as college Advanced Placement and Pre-Advanced Placement classes.  Students interested in exploring engineering may begin classes at Stafford Middle School and end with high school classes and internships with local engineering firms through the SEAL Engineering Academy.  The free 21st Century Afterschool Learning Program provides students opportunities to learn technology applications, music, dance, gaming, cooking, and numerous other high-interest subjects.  SMSD facilities are designed to allow all of the district's students to attend elementary and secondary schools without the disruption of ever-changing school attendance zones.  This concept lends itself to the continuation of curriculum as seen through a K-12 on-line curriculum.

The district prides itself in allowing students to participate in as many school activities and organizations as possible, provided that high academic standards are maintained. Stafford Primary School and Stafford Elementary School have consistently earned TEA's Recognized status with Stafford Intermediate School, Stafford Middle School, and Stafford High School earning Acceptable status for 2012. Student organizations, such as DECA and JROTC have competed at international levels and UIL Academic teams at State levels.  Stafford High School athletes have been named not only to all-district and all-state teams but also to Academic All-State teams.  A state-of-the-art indoor fitness area, SPARTA, facilitates athletic instruction, and as a municipal school district, and through a partnership with the City of Stafford, the district benefits by utilizing the city's municipal swimming pool and the Stafford Civic Center, both located within the district's complex. These facilities allow extension in curriculum by offering swimming lessons to second- and fourth-graders; and by allowing a formal venue, the Stafford Centre, for student performing arts functions.  Call 281-261-9200 or visit www.staffordmsd.org.
