A Snapshot of Arlington's Martin High School and ISD Bond Initiative


With offices in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Grand Prairie, D&M Auto Leasing is one of America’s largest vehicle leasing companies. Holding a 4.9 rating (out of 5) on DealerRater, D&M Auto Leasing is heavily involved in the community it serves, supporting Texas-based organizations such as Goodwill, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Martin High School in Arlington

Part of the Arlington Independent School District, Martin High School was founded in 1982 and has around 3,300 students in grades 9-12. It was named after James W. Martin, an elementary school teacher who became the Arlington ISD superintendent and oversaw the growth of the district from 1300 students to more than 30,000 students and staff. 

In 2014, Arlington voters passed a bond initiative to spend $663.1 million to improve existing buildings and transportation, develop new facilities, address safety issues, and upgrade technology equipment and related infrastructure. The bond is funded through property taxes, and the district has a 5-year plan to implement all of its capital improvements.
