Snyder Junior High School

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
Skills (All Sports, All Grades): 8:20 AM – 9:20 AM
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.

The Snyder Junior High golf team capped off their season this past Saturday in Lubbock! Throughout the season, these student-athletes earned numerous medals, but more importantly, they built strong friendships and proudly represented Snyder ISD on and off the course. Coach Rogers shared, “This group is special. They get along, they work hard, and they want to win. The future is bright for this group of golfers” Thank you to Coach Del Bosque, Coach Rogers, and families for your support—and congratulations to our golfers on a successful season! #snydertigers #snyderisd

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

🔬📐 Snyder ISD Educators Attend Executive Leadership Summit


This morning, Mrs. Stevenson (Junior High Science), Coach Jennings (High School Math), and Superintendent Mr. Rauch attended the Executive Leadership Summit hosted by Region 14 Education Service Center and Texas Instruments.


This summit brought together outstanding educators and leaders to discuss new math and science initiatives and interactive technology. Educators also engaged in hands-on learning with TI calculators, explored Python coding, and worked with Rover robots to discover new ways to bring interactive technology to the classroom.

We appreciate Mrs. Stevenson, Coach Jennings, and Mr. Rauch for representing Snyder ISD and bringing back valuable insights to continue strengthening math and science opportunities for our students! #SnyderISD #SnyderTigers
