Wylie ISD has long been a place where students thrive, teachers lead with heart, and families come together to support one another. It’s no surprise that our hometown of Abilene was once again named one of the Top 100 Best Places to Live in the U.S., according to Livability’s 2025 rankings.

Abilene’s continued recognition is a reflection of what we know to be true—this is a community built on connection, care, and opportunity. And Wylie ISD is proud to be part of what makes Abilene such a special place to call home.

Every day in our schools, we see excellence in action—from students achieving big things in the classroom and on the field, to staff going above and beyond to create safe, welcoming environments for all. Whether it’s championship-caliber players heading to state, teachers shaping young minds, or close-knit campuses that feel like family, Wylie Bulldogs are leading the way.

As Abilene continues to shine on the national stage, we’re grateful to be growing right alongside it. Together, we’re proving that small-town values and big dreams go hand in hand.

It’s great to be a Wylie Bulldog!
