Schools and Facilities
The district has 19 elementary schools, 5 junior high schools, 2 traditional high schools, and one non-traditional high school. Students are assigned to elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools based on the location of their home but may apply to transfer to other schools if they would like to participate in certain programs. Six elementary schools split their graduates among more than one junior high schools; Central Junior High is the only junior high that splits graduates between the two high schools. Unique among area districts, the two H-E-B high schools consists of Grades 10 through 12 (9th graders remain at the junior high level, but can try out and compete for high school activities such as football).
HEB ISD schools have been recognized four times by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program: Harwood Junior High was recognized in 1986-1987, L. D. Bell High School in 1994-1996, and both Central and Hurst Junior High Schools in 2010.
The school district also owns and operates Pennington Field, a stadium used by both of the district's high schools, the DFW Tornados PDL soccer team, and the Dallas Diamonds football team.

Famous quotes containing the words schools and/or facilities:
“It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
