Who the district serves
Brazos ISD covers Wallis, Orchard and parts of Rosenberg, spanning Austin and Fort Bend counties. For a district this size that is a wide catchment, and it is why the buses run as far as they do.
Why it is not called Wallis ISD
It was, once. Orchard ISD and Wallis ISD merged in the 1970s to form Wallis-Orchard ISD, and that district was renamed Brazos ISD in the late 1990s. People who grew up here still occasionally call it by the old name.
Go to the district for anything that matters
We publish the basics with our sources shown, but this is not an official Brazos ISD page. For the school year calendar, enrolment, athletics, transport or anything that bears on a decision, the district is the authority and publishes its own information at brazosisd.net. We link to it rather than duplicating it badly.
What the Post does for young people
Post 200 runs youth programs and takes part in ceremonies that involve local students. If you are a parent, a teacher or a coach and there is something the Post could usefully support, tell us — we would rather hear the idea than guess at it. Our programs page sets out what we already do.
