Ample opportunity for a great education can be found in Hereford. The Hereford school system is one of the oldest in the Texas Panhandle and was established more than 100 years ago. Today, in the same innovative spirit we continue to be dedicated to a well-rounded education.

       The Hereford Independent School District operates eight campuses from elementary through secondary, Hereford Junior High grades 6th through 8th, Hereford High School grades 9th through 12th and Stanton Learning Center, an alternate campus.

       Four private Christian schools offer an alternative to public education. St. Anthony’s School – grades K through 6th, Nazarene Christian Academy – grades K through 8th, Community School – grades K through 12th, and First Baptist Kindergarten – grades K-4 and K-5. All have excellent facilities, programs, and teachers. Each contributes to the accomplishment of successful education in Hereford.
