Background

Initially, both school districts served small farming and ranching communities in the Rio Grand Valley, but their northern boundaries were drawn all the way to the county line and the Texas/New Mexico border. SISD also serves the Socorro area, a rapidly expanding suburb of east El Paso, and the western half of the existing urban area of Horizon City. CISD also serves the original Clint area, the remainder of the Horizon area, and a community to our north known as East Montana.

Our role

Horizon Communities has long been an active supporter of schools. Our main contributions has been in the form of land donations. For example, Horizon Communities provided CISD with an 18-acre site for its new administrative center, which opened September 2003. The opening brought the district’s historically fragmented administration together for the first time.
