Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD) is a public school district based in University Park, Texas, United States.[1]
HPISD serves most of the city of Highland Park, all of the city of University Park, and portions of Dallas. HPISD administers seven schools. It is consistently ranked among the top school districts in Texas, as it serves the highly affluent Park Cities.[citation needed][who?]

Dr. Orr has previously been superintendent in Wichita Falls, Texas, and Pampa, Texas. He also was president of the Texas Association of School Administrators.
