"These students are pioneers."
In Deep East Texas, what started as a vision to expand opportunities for students became a reality this spring as the first cohort of students signed on to a pathway designed to prepare them for success beyond high school.
This milestone reflects the power of rural communities coming together—students, families, educators, and local leaders—to create brighter futures and expand what's possible for the next generation.
Read how this historic partnership between Collegiate Edu-Nation and Spurger ISD is helping transform opportunities for rural learners:

Congratulations to Chesney Wright of Spurger ISD for receiving the Visionary Educator Award at the Collegiate Edu-Nation Rural Empowerment Conference!
This award recognizes innovative leadership in education pathways and honors educators who create meaningful, transformative opportunities for students.
Chesney’s dedication to our seniors is a powerful example of that leadership. Through her work coordinating one-on-one mock interviews with local employers in career fields aligned to each student’s interests, she helped students build confidence, gain real-world experience, and prepare for life beyond high school. Several students even received job offers as a direct result of the experience.
We are proud to celebrate Chesney’s vision, hard work, and commitment to student success.
Congratulations, Chesney!

A big thank you to K&K’s Funny Farm for the generous egg donation! 🐣💛
Mrs. Lieby’s Kindergarten class had an egg-citing learning experience incubating purebred eggs donated by K&K’s Funny Farm of Spurger. The students loved counting down the days and watching the chicks hatch right before their eyes! What a fun and memorable hands-on lesson for our little learners! 🐥🥚
