District Profile

an Marcos Consolidated Independent School District is in the heart of the Texas Hill Country between San Antonio and Austin, the state capital. The school district covers 210 square miles mainly in Hays County and portions of Guadalupe and Caldwell counties. With a sharp focus on ensuring every student an opportunity to achieve success, SMCISD serves the community with one early childhood center, four elementary schools, one middle school, two junior highs and one high school.
To keep pace with the challenges of a growing community, SMCISD also runs an alternative high school, PRIDE and two alternative learning centers, Pathfinder and Rebound. From preschool through 12th grade, the Fighting Rattlers are now 7,400-students strong.
San Marcos High School students hit the college-track on the first day of their freshman year. The high school offers advanced placement courses, career technology courses and dual enrollment at Texas State University and Austin Community College (ACC).  
Superintendent Dr. Patty Shafer puts into action sound curriculum, well-trained teachers, supportive administrators and community partnerships. This action plan, combined with strong parent involvement, leads to academic triumphs for students in the classroom.
Exciting changes are afoot for all who champion education in the San Marcos community. Heeding the taxpayers’ approval of a $122.7 million bond package, SMCISD leaders are building a brighter future for San Marcos students.
