Tuloso-Midway High School is a public high school in Corpus Christi, Texas and is part of the Tuloso-Midway Independent School District.
The overall population of the Tuloso-Midway region in Corpus Christi, Texas, was approximately 12,400 people in 2009. The majority of students are minorities with about 57% of the population listed as Hispanic or Latino (of any race) and 42% White.
The school's population in 2015 was 1,150 students of which 70.61% are Hispanic and the other 26.52% are White. As of the 2005–06 school year[update], Tuloso-Midway High's student body totaled 978 (45.7% White, 51.9% Hispanic, 1.8% African American, 0.3% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.2% Native American) with 26.3% of the students considered economically disadvantaged.
During the 1990s, Tuloso-Midway High School widened its attendance boundaries to all students in the region, with application acceptance contingent on an applicant's educational performance and behavioral record at his or her previous school. Each year, more than 900 out-of-district students join TMISD using the application process. The high school continues to benefit from this policy, as many successful students have transferred into the high school from around the region since the program's inception.
With rapid population growth in the area from 2006 to 2013, the enrollment has been above 1,000 consistently with a peak of 1,179 students in the 2013–14 school year. Tuloso-Midway High is expected to hit enrollment records over the next several years. The demographics of the high school continue to be about 55% Hispanic and 40% white, with the remaining 5% split among African American, Asian, and other nationalities.
Tuloso-Midway Independent School District began in 1887 when a schoolhouse was constructed on donated land in the Tuloso area. The school's first teacher was an individual named Murdock who taught nine students for a six-month term. Twenty-seven years later, in 1914, the first Midway school was established in an adjacent community. In 1938, the Tuloso and Midway communities planned the formation of the Tuluso-Midway Independent School District. By 1947, the district had come into being.
Two years later, in 1949, the school district had its first graduating class consisting of five students. Tuluso-Midway Independent School District continued to expand in May 1969, absorbing the Clarkwood Independent School District and the Violet Common School District. The newly formed district briefly adopted the name of The Tuloso-Midway Consolidated Independent School District. A year later the district's name reverted to the original name.
