Take me out to the ball game, or better yet, take me to Ms. Martindale's 4th grade science class. Students had a ball learning about the properties of matter. 😊

It has been a great start for SHS!!!

Dear Pirate Family, I’m glad we all made it through the storm safely and avoided catastrophic destruction. I know many of you all are dealing with power issues. Due to power and internet fluctuations we are going to have all staff begin on Monday and students will restart remote learning Tuesday. Hopefully, this will give the power companies time to resolve the fluctuation issues.

Due to the mandatory evacuation of Jefferson County, Spurger ISD will be closed Tuesday through Friday.
