Royse City ISD named national showcase district
30 Apr 2020
In a virtual phone call on April 24, district administrators from Royse City ISD listened as Capturing Kids’ Hearts Founder Flip Flippen announced the district as a National Showcase District.
This top honor from the Flippen Group means that Royse City ISD is one of only six districts in the United States to earn the title in 2020.
Capturing Kids’ Hearts was first introduced to educators in Royse City ISD in 2003. Since then, district administrators have committed to investing in teacher training and growing a culture that is built on relationship building.
As a result, students are greeted daily at each class and are encouraged to share good things happening in their lives. Knowing students on a personal level builds trust which can lead to better attendance, academic progress and a safer school environment.

Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
