Krum was one of the few districts in Texas that does not participate in high-school football, which is extremely rare in Texas, a state where the activity is almost a religion in some parts. However, its boys basketball team has had success, having won five state championships (1971, 1978, 1994, 1996, and 1998). A bond election, which would have built a football stadium, was narrowly defeated in November 2006, but was placed on the ballot again in 2007 and was passed. The 2008 school year saw Krum Middle School play the district's first ever football games (defeating the middle school from powerhouse Celina in both the 7th and 8th grade contests). The goal is to field a varsity team by 2012.
