Why work in Montgomery ISD?
"Location, Location, Location"
A perfect blend of country life and city connections, Montgomery has easy access to shopping, professional and collegiate sports, world-class performing arts, museums, boating and other water recreational activities, plus a huge variety of eating places ranging from 5-star restaurants to home-town eateries. Montgomery is known as the "Birthplace of the Texas Flag" and the downtown corridor along Highway 149 contains historic sites as well as quaint shops; many of which have been restored to their original appearance of the mid-1800's. Best of all, the cost of living ranks among the most reasonable in the area.
