Quick Facts

What Buyers Should Know

Corpus Christi ISD serves the city of Corpus Christi and parts of Nueces County (~33,000 students across 6 high schools). Carroll HS, King HS, Ray HS, Veterans Memorial HS, Miller HS, and the Collegiate HS at Del Mar anchor the district.

If you work full time at Corpus Christi ISD as a classroom teacher, teacher aide, school librarian, school counselor, or school nurse, you may qualify for Homes for Texas Heroes. The program may put up to 5% of the loan amount toward your down payment and closing costs, and you don’t need to be a first-time buyer. In Nueces County, TSAHC’s 2026 Heroes limit is about $172,550 in household income, at any household size.

School jobs outside those five, such as administrators and support staff, aren’t on TSAHC’s Heroes list, but those employees may still qualify for Home Sweet Texas, which offers the same kind of assistance with a Nueces County limit of about $152,250. First-time buyers may also be able to add a Mortgage Credit Certificate.
