Board members serve four-year terms.
The board was created as the district's decision-making body in 1921 when the school district was formed. Current enrollment is 872 students. The school's first senior class graduated May 1998. As a model school, the Career Center has the flexibility to combine the vocational and academic objectives of the program, rather than relying on a traditional, content-based curriculum. Although students are not exempted from the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills test or high school credit requirements, Career Center students are given more flexibility in choosing courses that match their career interests.
