Calling all first-generation college-bound students!
Have you looked into the Upward Bound program? It’s a great place to start to prepare for college. The program is offered through WTC, and they are currently recruiting SHS Freshman students.
This free service is offered to help students learn about college options, receive tutoring, visit colleges, attend a 6-week summer program, attend a college bridge program after high school graduation, and more! They provide academic advisement and instruction for students through high school to prepare them for college, and track each student until they graduate.
Students must have the desire, dedication, and discipline to enter and graduate from college. Participants work diligently in high school to improve their GPAs and to prepare for college. Upward Bound assists students with college admissions through financial aid applications, college applications, scholarship searches, and college entrance exam preparation.

Early Monday evening, while a crew was repairing a gas line at Snyder High School, a small fire broke out. The fire was isolated to a unit above the ISS classroom in the Ag Building Annex. The Snyder Fire Department promptly responded and extinguished the fire. There were no injuries and only minor roof and water damage. The issue has been resolved, and all other units have been checked and are functioning correctly.
Juniors and Seniors from Snyder HS toured Western Texas College to explore their post-secondary transition options. They were accompanied by SHS transition coordinator Brandy Martin and teachers Jodi Sobokta and Carla Derryberry.

It's CTE Month! Throughout the month, we will celebrate the Career and Technical Education programs offered at Snyder High School. In September of 2022, Snyder ISD Automotive opened to the community as a school-based enterprise allowing students to serve the public and expand their experience by working on a wide-variety of vehicles.
In this picture, Mr. Escobedo, Automotive Instructor, teaches students how to replace a starter solenoid on a vehicle.

A critical component of education is understanding it's application in real life.
The programs of study at SHS allow students to select an area of interest to study. Ms. Tindol, Health Sciences Teacher at Snyder High School, brought in a special guest to provide insight into a possible career opportunity in the healthcare field.
Dyllan Tindol is enrolled in the Physician Assistant Program at Hardin Simmons University. As a current student, he was able to provide relevant information to students about what they can do now, in high school, to prepare for acceptance into PA school. He also discussed prerequisite courses, grades, study tips, and the importance of good habits and time management. He also discussed student loans, job opportunities and repayment opportunities, and work-life balance.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, physician assistants, more commonly known as PAs, are among the top five fastest growing careers. The occupation is expected to grow by 37 percent by 2026, faster than any other career path in medicine including nurse practitioners. Mr. Tindol chose to become a PA because of the abundance of opportunities, the flexibility for lateral movement within the field, and life.
It was evident that students enjoyed his presentation; they were attentive and asked excellent questions. We appreciate Mr. Tindol for taking the time to visit with Ms. Tindol's Health Science classes.
Last week, Mrs. Hunter's class ended their pregnancy and infant unit with a tour of the Obstetric Department at Cogdell Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Carlock, RN and House Supervisor with Cogdell, showed students around the unit to provide a better understanding of what families experience during labor and delivery.
We appreciate the warm welcome from Cogdell and the opportunity for students to visit the OB Unit!
