Birdville ISD history

Operated by Professor William E. Hudson, the school was named Birdville Academy . By 1864, Birdville's student body had grown enough that two teachers were needed.

All early Tarrant County records were later lost in a courthouse fire on March 29, 1876.

Following its provisions, on April 17, 1884, the Tarrant County Commissioners instructed the school communities in the county to define their attendance areas exactly and to send a map to the county commissioners.

The Birdville School District was established in 1896.

The Birdville Post Office was discontinued on June 14, 1906, and rural service begun from Fort Worth.

The year 1916 signalled the beginning of major growth.

In the spring of 1919, a bond issue was approved so the district could erect a new brick building.

In 1925, the Birdville's first formal PTA operated a booth at the Fat Stock Show, raised $125, and used the money to buy library books for the school.

In 1926, under the direction of Superintendent W. T. Francisco, the Birdville ISD was incorporated.

12, 1989, at 3120 Carson Street in Haltom City . Today, Birdville ISD is the fourth largest school district in Northeast Tarrant County, with 32 campuses, and serves a growing population of 120,000 residents and more than 22,400 students.

During the 1994-95 school year, Birdville surpassed many of its records and achieved ambitious goals set by the Birdville ISD Board of Trustees in the areas of academics, athletics, career and technology, staff achievements, parental involvement, fine arts and computer technology.

The board, named The Outstanding School Board in Texas in 1995, is facilitating its vision of Birdville student success in the international marketplace with the adoption of a new mission statement adopted in 1995.

These include the Cities of Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills and Watauga. It was founded in 1996 and became a non-profit 501 c 3 organization in 1996.

She founded the nonprofit historical society in 2000 and built an archive which now is stored at the Birdville Museum.

In 2011, Birdville School District came to an agreement with the historical society that allowed use of school district space for the purpose of opening a museum.
