Our 5th and 6th graders had a fun-filled day in Mrs. Saulsbury’s Social Studies class! 🌎📖
Students were asked to write about why they think Social Studies is important and share their thoughts and ideas. We love seeing our students think, write, and make connections to the world around them! ❤️
Way to go, 5th & 6th grade! We’re looking forward to a great year of learning! 🏴☠️📚

What a great first day back! We loved seeing our students back in the classrooms, learning, smiling, and getting settled into a new school year. ❤️
A special thank you to Mrs. Cain for helping make the first day extra special by handing out goodie bags to our amazing teachers and staff! We appreciate everything our staff does to make Spurger Elementary a wonderful place for our students. 🏴☠️
Here’s to a GREAT 2026–2027 school year! We’re off to a wonderful start! 📚✏️❤️

The first week of school is always exciting—and there’s no better way to begin a new year than by jumping right in! A special thank you to Mr. Burnthorn, who jumped right in wherever he was needed - From mowing the lawn to driving a bus, rolling up his sleeves and doing whatever it takes for our students! A new school year brings new opportunities, new challenges, and new memories. We are excited to have our students, teachers, staff, and families back together again for our 2026-2027 School Year!

"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:

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!
