Malakoff is a 2A school district located in east Texas between Corsicana and Athens on Highway 31.  We have approximately 1175 students.  These students are housed on four main campuses including two elementaries, a middle school, and a high school.  The buildings are well maintained with our elementaries both opening this school year.  The district is working hard to provide all students with learning opportunities that ensure their success after they graduate. 

The district is focused on several initiatives to improve the quality of education our students receive.  One initiative is having an aligned curriculum.  We will use this alignment to create assessments during each six week period to measure the success of each student on the defined curriculum.  These assessments will be implemented during the 2008 – 2009 school year.  The high school will be offering more dual enrollment classes for 2008 – 2009.  These are classes taught at the college level that provide students both college and high school credit.  It is our goal to offer both academic and vocational opportunities.  The high school is also focused on creating a vision for students on post high school opportunities.  We are helping students and parents in college applications, scholarship opportunities, and other post high school information.

In short, the staff of Malakoff Independent School District is committed to providing all students with an educational opportunity that will give them the tools needed to compete in any field they choose to pursue.  For more information, please do not hesitate to e-mail, call, or visit the administrative offices.
