The district is made up of two high schools, an Early College High School, Career & Technology Center, five middle schools, 17 elementary schools, two alternative schools, and one special education campus.

With academic achievement the primary objective, Tyler ISD takes strong measures to ensure a positive, safe and orderly learning environment, to instill self-discipline, and to enforce standards of excellence throughout the system. An array of programs and opportunities expand beyond Tyler ISD in this culture-rich community. Located midway between Dallas and Shreveport, Louisiana, Tyler is a garden city of over 100,000 known for its roses and scenic beauty. Community assets such as the Caldwell Zoo, the East Texas Symphony Orchestra, the Tyler Museum of Art, and the Hudnall Planetarium afford opportunities for field trips that expand learning beyond the normal classroom experience. In addition, Tyler ISD offers access to nationally recognized higher education programs through partnerships with The University of Texas at Tyler and Tyler Junior College.
HORIZONTAL LOGO (PRIMARY) 3 The Tyler ISD logo is the most important element of our visual identity. Consistent use of the logo is key to building our brand. When To Use: The primary form of the logo will serve as the default logo for TISD. Use this form unless otherwise specified in this guide. Color: When used against light backgrounds, the logo is to appear only as black 100%. This form of the logo must only be used against background colors light enough to hold enough contrast to maintain legibility. White Out (Reversed): When used against dark backgrounds, the logo is to appear only as white 100%. This form of the logo must only be used against background colors dark enough to hold enough contrast to maintain legibility.
HORIZONTAL LOGO (PRIMARY) 3a Logo Structure: The primary logo must include the icon, text, and tagline, as shown. Logo Clearance: The clearance area is the protection zone around the logo. For maximum impact the logo should always be prominent and legible. The clearance area gives the logo enough space to make this impact and not be compromised by other elements. Required clearance area can be determined by the width/height of the letter D in the logo. Maximum Reduction Size: The optimal logo size is determined for individual media/use, depending on the area of application and printing method. However, the logo may only be reduced to a size where the tagline text remains legible. If a smaller application is required, use of one of the approved alternate logos within this guide will be necessary. (See sections 4 & 5) Maximum Enlargement Size: There are no limits for enlarging the logo.
ICON-ONLY LOGO (DISTRICT USAGE) 4 Logo Structure: The icon-only logo is for special use and must include the Icon only. Use of the Text or tagline portions of the logo without the icon are not allowed. 1/4 Logo Clearance: Follow the same guidelines used for the primary logo. Required clearance area can be determined by the width/height of the letter D in the logo. Maximum Reduction Size: The icon-only logo should never be used at a size smaller than 1/4 for the sake of legibility. Maximum Enlargement Size: There are no limits for enlarging the logo. ICON-ONLY LOGO (ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT USAGE ONLY)
