Welcome to the Sweetwater Independent School District

The Sweetwater Independent School District serves approximately 2,280 students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12 on six campuses; high school, middle school, intermediate school, two elementary schools, and an early childhood center.
Sweetwater ISD is also the fiscal agent for a seven-member county alternative learning center and a nine-member school special education shared service arrangement. In Sweetwater, excellence is not only a goal, it is a standard. All three elementary campuses are exemplary, the High School is recognized, and the Middle School is acceptable. Students have opportunities to participate in UIL academic competitions. The fine arts program enjoys outstanding successes, especially in band and choral music. In athletics, teams consistently excel in football, basketball, baseball, track, softball, power lifting, volleyball, golf, and tennis.

Things are tough in Texas financially and schools are no exception. The experts are predicting an 18 million dollar state deficit to begin the next legislative session. Texas schools are directly affected by the economy and the cuts needed to overcome this financial shortfall will be felt in a big way.

Words of Wisdom
“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire." - -Fred Shero
“A child is not a vase to be filled, but a fire to be lit”
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” - - William Butler Yeats
| “I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.” |
