Welcome to McCulloch Intermediate School and Highland Park Independent School District. MIS is an exemplary school committed to continuous improvement for students and faculty. Exemplary results go far beyond exemplary test scores. Exemplary results are students who are academically, socially, emotionally, and physically prepared at the highest levels to excel at any challenge and opportunity that comes their way in the future. Exemplary results are students who are highly motivated and eager to pursue challenges while demonstrating exemplary character and service to others.
McCulloch Intermediate and Highland Park Middle is a partnership of educators, staff, students, parents and community that strives to provide a superior educational experience.
