Pilot Point Independent School District (Pilot Point ISD, PPISD) is a public school district based in Pilot Point, Texas, United States. Covering 125 square miles, the district is mostly located in Denton County with portions extending into Cooke and Grayson counties.
As of 2026, Pilot Point ISD operates one high school, one middle school, and two primary schools. The district is currently a C-rated district by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
History It is unclear when Pilot Point ISD was established. However, Pilot Point High School's Gee campus was built in 1951. In 1972, a new PPHS campus was built and named after J Earl Selz High School, and the Gee campus continued educating the lower grades.
By 1984, the high school operated with grades 9 through 12 and the Gee campus housed the junior high and elementary grades: Pilot Point Junior High School (grades 6-8) and Gee Elementary School (PK-5).
In 1986, Pilot Point Elementary School (PPES) opened with grades PK-4. Now a stand-alone facility, the junior high was renamed to Gee Junior High and served grades 5-8. 5th grade was moved to PPES in 1989.
When the current Pilot Point High School facility was opened in 1999, the J Earl Selz building became Pilot Point Middle School (PPMS) with grades 6-8. The former junior high became Gee Intermediate School, serving grades 3-5, and leaving on grades PK-2 at PPES.
Pilot Point Intermediate School (grades 3-6) opened in 2005, replacing the Gee campus, and the district removed grade 6 from PPMS.
In 2021, PPISD underwent another grade configuration and renamed its elementary campuses. Pilot Point Intermediate became Pilot Point Elementary School (1-5) and the old PPES became Pilot Point Early Childhood Center (PK-K). 6th grade returned to Pilot Point MS.
In May 2026, Pilot Point ISD attempted to pass a $295 million school bond to fund a new high school, new elementary school, and upgrade other campuses. The bond failed by a margin of 61% against and 39% for.
