About Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District
The district encompasses 53.42 square miles (138.4 km2) and is located primarily in northwest Dallas County with a smaller portion in southeast Denton County. The school district's boundaries are not the same as municipal boundaries; therefore, Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District provides instructional services to children who live in portions of Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell, Dallas, and Irving.
Dr. Bobby Burns has served as the Superintendent since July 1, 2009. He was previously named acting Superintendent in October 2008 after the resignation of his predecessor, Dr. Annette T. Griffin.

—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
