STISD is the only all-magnet school district in the state, and offers Valley students an educational alternative. The district provides a personal environment, a strong scholastic program and hands-on training in vocational career fields.

Busses seen leaving for routes

Because STISD is a public school district, there is no cost for students to attend one of its six campuses, and bus transportation is also free of charge.
