History and Forward Plans
This is the third high school in McKinney, the others being McKinney High School and McKinney North High School. Setting McKinney Boyd up proved controversial, with many students being compulsorily transferred from the other schools. Further, bussing long distances to achieve socio-economic diversity is being continued.
Opened in August 2006, McKinney Boyd is named after Mary Crane Boyd who endowed an earlier school in 1914. Starting in fall 2007, Boyd began to enroll twelfth graders, and the school's current total enrollment is approximately 3,000 students. Beginning the 2008-2009 school year, McKinney Boyd High School started to compete in district 5A.
Boyd High School completed all construction of its school building with the completion of the third phase over the summer of 2007. Although McKinney Tx has been focusing on finishing its re-modeling of High-Way 75, there have been 3 community meetings in the City Of McKinney Tx since April 2011 regarding further construction. The city has been planning a separate building for McKinney Boyd, with its own indoor swimming pool for school use with its swim team, and to use the remaining land for a small golf course for its golf team. The building was not to have any classrooms, but be used for practice for its sports teams, such as the swim and golf team. As of June 2011 no other meeting had been planned, and the plan had been put on hold until the completion of the re-modeling of High-Way 75 with the intention of fully re-opening its roads by March 2012. McKinney Boyd, is in the top 10 schools, in the United States of America.
