About Wylie ISD Schools

Wylie ISD is a Collin County district east of Plano. The district reported enrollment of about 19,469 students in 2025-26. Its school directory lists 22 schools: 11 elementary, 4 intermediate, 4 junior high and 3 high schools, including Achieve Academy, plus Hartman ECLC. Dr. Kim Spicer leads the district as superintendent. The board named her lone finalist in September 2025, and she is the first woman to hold the role. Wylie ISD holds an A rating from the Texas Education Agency and was recognized by Solution Tree as a Model PLC at Work district. Fine arts, athletics and career and technical education are strong here.

What Parents in Collin County Should Know This Year

A few things stand out on this calendar.

First, Wylie gives families four full weeks off during the year, not counting winter break. Fall Break (October 11–15), Thanksgiving (November 22–26) and Spring Break (March 13–17) are each a full Monday-to-Friday week.

Second, watch Easter. Monday, April 17, 2028, is an Easter holiday and also the 2nd Bad Weather Day. If the district needs two make-up days, that Monday becomes a school day.

Third, the last day of school is Thursday, May 25, 2028, with early dismissal. Friday, May 26, is the 1st Bad Weather Day. If one weather day is used, school could run through that Friday. Graduations follow on Saturday, May 27.

Fourth, the first day is a Thursday. Kids get a two-day first week, which helps younger students ease in.

How Wylie ISD Compares to Neighboring Districts

Nearby Richardson ISD has already approved its 2027-28 calendar. It starts one day earlier, on Wednesday, August 11, 2027, and ends Wednesday, May 24, 2028, one day before Wylie. Both districts have 174 days and the same Thanksgiving week, November 22–26. Richardson’s winter break runs through January 4, while Wylie students return January 4. Richardson lists spring break as tentatively March 13–17, matching Wylie. We could not find board-approved 2027-28 calendars for Plano ISD or Garland ISD at the time of writing, so we will update this comparison once they post.

Planning a Family Trip? Best Times to Travel in Collin County

Winter break is your longest window. With the early dismissal on Friday, December 17, and the January 3 PD day, students are off from Saturday, December 18, through Monday, January 3. That is 17 days in a row.

Fall Break, Thanksgiving and Spring Break each give you nine days in a row, weekend to weekend. Fall Break is often the cheapest of these to travel since fewer districts take that week.

Skip long plans for Easter weekend. April 17 can turn into a school day if weather days are needed.
