Midway ISD campuses celebrate Red Ribbon Week 2025 with a variety of activities focused on making healthy, positive choices and staying drug-free. Across the district, students are participating in themed dress-up days, classroom lessons, and special programs designed to empower them to live safe, healthy lives.

The Midway ISD Board of Trustees heard encouraging results at its September meeting: vape detectors installed across secondary campuses have dramatically reduced student vaping incidents. Administrators reported that the devices are making campuses safer and healthier for students.

Vape detectors at Midway High School are set to go live following Thanksgiving break as part of Midway ISD’s strategy to address the increasing concern of vaping among students.

Earlier this spring, all projects funded by the 2019 bond package were successfully completed.

The Midway ISD Board of Trustees approved the purchase and implementation of a new state-of-the-art Video Management System (VMS) and advanced vape detection systems at its regular July meeting. 

The Midway ISD Board of Trustees administered the Oath of Office to its first-ever Police Chief, Jeff Foley, following the recent certification of the Midway ISD Police Department by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), marking the official establishment of the department.

Midway ISD started the process of establishing the district’s own police department with a resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees at the January school board meeting.

In pursuit of safer schools, the Midway ISD Information Technology Department provides invaluable support to the district’s proactive approach to safety.
