Snyder High School

We’re proud to highlight the recent Snyder Tiger Youth Football Camp! Thanks to the parents, coaches, and players who came together to create an unforgettable experience for our young athletes. From drills and teamwork to snow cones and water sprays, it was a fun and memorable few days.

Special thanks to Flamingo Pinks for the Camper of the Day snow cone cards and to the Snyder Fire Department for helping the kids beat the heat. Great things are happening in Snyder, and it’s all because of the strong support from our community. View hundreds of photos here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564077300908

Today marked the kickoff of our TEA-approved Mentor Program! We’re proud to be one of the few districts in the state not only selected for this grant, but also locally approved to manage and implement the program.

Day one of training for our mentors is in the books, and we’re excited to welcome our mentees and new teachers tomorrow at New Teacher Orientation. It’s going to be a great year of growth, support, and connection!

This week, Snyder ISD campus and district leaders attended a statewide training to strengthen our P-TECH program. P-TECH stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School. It’s a program that gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credit, industry certifications, and real-world work experience while still in high school. Our goal is to make sure students graduate ready for college, a career, or both. At this training, our team learned new ways to improve the program, build strong partnerships with local businesses, and provide students with more opportunities to succeed after graduation. We’re proud to invest in programs that help our students gain a head start on their future.

Tiger Football, SAVE THE DATE! It's almost time to pick up your equipment for the 2025 season.

Snyder ISD’s Summer Strength & Conditioning (S&C) program officially kicks off Monday, welcoming Tigers and Lady Tigers who plan to compete in the 2025–2026 school year. With a strong turnout expected and an increase in student participation, the athletics department has adjusted the schedule to ensure all athletes receive quality training and support throughout the summer.

Parents and students, the coaches have been updating the "cleared" list frequently on SportsYou. Check to ensure you have everything in order to participate this summer. For students who are new to athletics or planning to join Snyder ISD next year, there are just a few steps to complete before participating in workouts. The Snyder ISD athletics staff is ready to assist—families are encouraged to stop by the athletic office, call 325-574-8830, or visit www.snyderisd.net/athletics to get started.

Due to the high level of interest, workouts have been divided into two main groups.

Incoming 9th–12th Grade Students
Strength & Conditioning: 7:00 AM – 8:15 AM
Skills (All Sports, All Grades): 8:20 AM – 9:20 AM

Incoming 7th–8th Grade Students

Strength & Conditioning: 9:30 AM – 10:45 AM

Summer workout calendars for boys and girls programs are posted at www.snyderisd.net/summer

Water will be available, but all participants are encouraged to bring their own bottles to stay hydrated during workouts.

Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Anthony Gonzales is challenging every athlete to approach this summer with purpose. “We have an opportunity this summer to get the edge on everyone we’re getting ready to compete against next school year,” he said. “My challenge to everyone is to take it to the next level in everything you start tomorrow. Why not? Attacking everything you do with Fanatical Effort will develop the edge we need to elevate every program at Snyder Junior High and Snyder High School.”

More than just a summer workout program, this is a mindset shift—an invitation for every student-athlete to commit to excellence. From getting enough rest each night to showing up early with a great attitude, building those habits now can make all the difference in the fall. Staying hydrated, staying active, and getting quality sleep—these are tips that aren’t just for athletes, but for everyone aiming to make the most of summer.

As the first whistle blows and the early morning workouts begin, the message is clear: the work starts now. And for the Tigers and Lady Tigers, the journey toward next season begins with showing up, giving it everything, and FINISHing strong.

🏆 With a 9–2 win over the Lady Blues in Game 2, your Lady Tigers are Bi-District Champions! It was standing room only — fans stacked deep — and the energy was 🔥! More photos and news to come... stay tuned, Tiger Nation! #snydertigers #snyderisd

Reminder! There is no school on Friday, April 18th. We hope you have a wonderful weekend with friends and family. We will see everyone back at school on Monday, April 21st!

Snyder ISD is pleased to announce they have been awarded The Mentor Program Allotment (MPA). This allotment will allow the district to further develop and strengthen its beginning teacher mentoring program, ultimately benefiting students through increased teacher retention and effectiveness. We want to thank Kathy Scott, Director of Student Services, for her diligent work on this grant submission. The MPA is a state initiative designed to help districts build or sustain mentoring programs for new teachers. These programs are grounded in research-based best practices and focus on improving student outcomes by supporting and retaining high-quality educators. Districts participating in the MPA commit to meeting rigorous requirements for mentors, district leaders, and campus leaders involved in the program. The MPA funds can be used for mentor stipends, release time for mentors and mentees, and high-quality mentor training. Snyder ISD recognizes that providing comprehensive support and training for new teachers is a top priority. This MPA award will significantly enhance the district's ability to achieve this goal. The funding will allow Snyder ISD to provide its beginning teachers with the training and resources they need to thrive in the classroom and contribute to student success. The district is committed to fostering a supportive environment where new teachers can grow professionally and develop their skills, ensuring the best possible education for Snyder ISD students. #snyderisd #snydertigers
