Tahoka Independent School District

The Tahoka Independent School District is a public school district based in Tahoka, Texas (United States). Located in Lynn County, the district extends into a small portion of Terry County.

The history of Tahoka ISD dates back to the early 1900s. In 1903, Tahoka School District No. 2 was created to serve the southern part of Lynn County. The district expanded through a series of consolidations with smaller schools. On September 26, 1940, high school students from Edith, Midway, New Lynn, Dixie, Three Lakes, and Grassland were sent to Tahoka. In 1947, the Edith School District consolidated with Tahoka, along with Three Lakes and Westpoint. The final two consolidations were Midway in 1949 and Grassland in 1957.

In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[1]
