Frisco Independent School District is a public school district based in Frisco, Texas, United States. The district covers portions of Denton and Collin counties, including portions of the cities of Frisco, Little Elm, Plano, McKinney and Prosper as well as unincorporated land.

The district was originally formed in 1876 and was known as the Farmers School District. Small schoolhouses served the rural population at that time. The community of Frisco began to emerge in 1902 and the school district was renamed.[6]

The district is one of the largest in Texas and the nation. In 1995, Frisco ISD had four schools. Since then, the district has added 71 new schools, opening two to six campuses annually. No public school district in the country grew faster from 1990–91 to 2010–11, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.[7]

In 2022, the school district was one of the best in the state, receiving the highest Texas Accountability rating of "A".[8][9]

The school district owns three stadiums that it uses for football games: David Kuykendall Stadium, Ford Center at The Star and Toyota Stadium.[10][11]

David Kuykendall Stadium

[edit]
David Kuykendall Stadium

David Kuykendall Stadium is one of three stadiums used by Frisco ISD for football games, along with the Ford Center at The Star and Toyota Stadium.[10][11] The stadium is considered to be one of the oldest stadiums in Texas.[25] The stadium, which currently has 9,000 seats and 1,200 parking spaces, is made for playing football, softball and track and field.[26][27] The stadium is also used by several schools.[28]

The stadium was built in 1986 near Staley Middle School and Bruce Eubanks Natatorium.[29] On May 13, 2021, the District's Board of Trustees had voted change the name to honor David Kuykendall, a long-time employee and FISD's athletic director since 1999, who was retiring.[30][11] The stadium also received a new video board for the purpose of improving the game-day experience.[25]

The stadium was renovated in 2015, adding over 1,400 seats, new locker rooms, a relocated scoreboard and an expanded running track. The renovation project also included the construction of new buildings near the football stadium. The renovation cost Frisco ISD over $3.4 million dollars.[31][32] In 2019, the stadium got its turf replaced, the operation took 6 months to complete.[33][34] On August 2019, Frisco ISD implemented new bag policies at the stadium, as well as at Toyota Stadium.[35] On December 9, 2024, the district's board of trustees approved $10.13 million contracts for roof replacements and technical repairs at the David Kuykendall Stadium and other stadiums.[36]

On April 2, 2025, a track meet at the stadium was temporarily suspended after Memorial High School student Austin Metcalf was murdered by Karmelo Anthony, a Centennial High School student of the same age, who stabbed Metcalf in the chest following an altercation. [37][38][39] On April 19, Frisco ISD said that they were seeking trespassing charges against a man who filmed himself breaking into the stadium to film a video related to the Metcalf stabbing during a protest which was held on the stadium by a group called "Protect White Americans".[40][41] On June 9, 2026, Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in jail.[39]
