Why Us
A Tradition of Excellence 2nd Oldest School District in Texas
The Pine Tree ISD was established in 1847, less than two years after Texas became the nation's 28th state, and James K. Polk was president. Growth was slow but stable, with agriculture being the primary source of income through the turn of the century. The oil boom in 1931 brought thousands of people to East Texas and caused rapid growth for Pine Tree Schools. Since that time, the district's reputation for quality education has attracted steady enrollment. The district’s Core Values are Intentional, Consistent, Reverence, Resolute and Relationships.
UIL Academics
Pine Tree ISD students compete successfully in UIL academic competitions beginning in first grade. Our robust high school program fully supports academic competition through STEM, reading, writing, social studies, accounting, theatrical design, performance, and film, and speech and debate events. The program also provides enrichment for students to make real world connections such as summer camps, community involvement, and college preparation. UIL students leave Pine Tree confident in charting their own future.
Fine Arts Program
The Fine Arts Department of PTISD proudly celebrates our performing and visual art students. Pine Tree ISD students explore and refine their talents in the areas of visual arts, band, color guard, choir, dance, cheer, and theatre. The fine arts groups at Pine Tree continue to achieve through UIL, VASE, and other circuits, receiving top awards across the State of Texas. Pine Tree High School is a five time Texas Art Education Association (TAEA) District of Distinction.
