History

Prosper School was established in 1902. It had 4 classrooms, 3 teachers, and 100 students. It was sold and moved off in 1910, with a new school opening on the same site in 1911. The new campus had 9 classrooms, 5 teachers, and housed grades 1-10. This school caught fire and was replaced in 1923. The 3rd campus built on this site also had 9 classrooms and 5 teachers, but housed grades 1-11.
Around 1935, Prosper ISD consolidated with many local school districts. These included Richland, Rockhill, Franklin, Hutcherson, Walnut Grove, Pleasant Ridge, Rheas Mill, and Bloomdale. Some of the buildings from the other schools were moved to the site of Prosper School.
In 1942, the mascot of Prosper School changed from the Deer to the Eagle.
In 1963, Prosper School moved to a new location. It had 6 elementary classrooms, 9 secondary classrooms, 14 teachers, and 237 students in grades 1-12.
In 1995, Prosper Elementary opened with grades PK-4.
In 2000, a new Prosper High School was built for grades 9-12. Prosper Middle School was established at the 1963 campus with grades 5-8.
In 2005, Folsom Elementary opened with grades PK-3. Prosper Elementary was renamed Rucker Elementary and hosted grades 4-5, with Prosper Middle School hosting grades 6-8.
In 2006, Pre-K and 6th grade moved to Rucker, freeing up space at Folsom and Prosper Middle School.
In 2007, Baker Elementary opened, with all three elementary schools now hosting grades PK-6.
In 2008, Rogers Middle School opened with grades 6-8, replacing Prosper Middle School. The three elementary schools now housed grades PK-5, with Rucker still hosting Head Start. The former Prosper Middle School campus was renovated into Prosper ISD's Administration Building.
In 2009, Prosper High School moved into its new $120 million campus, which was the most expensive high school ever built in Texas at the time.
In 2010, the former Prosper High School building opened after a year of renovations into Reynolds Middle School, housing grades 7-8. With this change, Rogers Middle School housed all PISD 5th and 6th graders, thus all elementary schools became K-4, with a few having PK-4.
In 2012, Cockrell Elementary was opened.
In 2015, Light Farms Elementary was opened.
In 2016, Hughes and Windsong Elementary Schools opened, allowing the district to move from PK-4 elementary campuses to grades PK-5. With this transition, both middle schools hosted grades 6-8.
In 2018, the University Interscholastic League classified Prosper High School as 6A.
In 2019, Children's Health Stadium opened as a 12,000 seat stadium for Prosper ISD football games. With this addition, Prosper High School played home games at Children's Health Stadium, moving away from the relatively tiny Eagle Stadium near Reynolds Middle School. Children's Health Hospital paid $2.5 million for the naming rights to the stadium.
The same year, Hays Middle School opened, becoming the first school in Prosper ISD with an animal other than an Eagle as their mascot or with school colors other than green and white. Hays uses the Hawk as their mascot and uses the primary school color blue. Rock Hill High School, into which Hays feeds, used the Blue Hawks as the school's mascot and blue as the primary school color when it opened in 2020.
In 2020, Rock Hill High School opened, meaning Prosper ISD had more than one high school for the first time in district history. Rock Hill High School was built for roughly $200 million, making it the most expensive high school built in Texas at the time. That fall, Prosper also opened Johnson Elementary School, named after Representative Sam Johnson, and Rushing Middle School, named after former superintendent William Rushing.
In 2024, Jones Middle School opened, taking students previously assigned to Rogers and Hays Middle Schools.
In 2025, Moseley Middle School and Richland High School opened while Rogers Middle School changed their mascot to a wildcat, like Walnut Grove. This year also marked the announcement of the future Bridges Middle School, on Frontier Parkway and Custer Road in Celina and is expected to open in the 2026-2027 school year.
