Spearman High School students recently attended the Texas High Plains Student Conservation Day at Palo Duro Lake. The day consisted of various conservation stations where students learned about: prescribed burns, wildlife habitats, conservation law enforcement, hydrology, big game and upland bird ecology, and plant/soil ID. Mr. Riley Fifield sponsored the students on this educational day at Lake Palo Duro. Spearman HS extends a big thank you to Robert Howell and Palo Duro Water District for the invite to the Conservation Day, as well as all of those who were involved with educating the students at the various stations.
Spearman High School Spanish Club concluded the year with a memorable trip to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and The Paleta Bar(Ice-cream Shop). Students had the opportunity to explore one of Texas’s most iconic landscapes, strengthen friendships, and continue practicing their Spanish in authentic, real-world settings.
Co-advisors Mrs. Stephania Hernandez-Martinez and Mr. Filiberto Avila are incredibly proud of the students for their enthusiasm, leadership, and involvement throughout the year. Experiences like these highlight how language learning (extends beyond the classroom and helps students build confidence, cultural awareness, and community. ¡Gracias por un año increíble! 💛
The SISD Board of Education had the distinct honor of recognizing a true cornerstone of our district: Jan Howard.
After an incredible 47 years of service, Jan’s impact on SISD is nothing short of legendary. To put that in perspective, Jan has been a steady hand and a guiding light for nearly half a century, witnessing generations of students grow from their first day of school to seeing their own children (and even grandchildren!) walk across the graduation stage. Congratulations!

Gus Birdwell’s Alejandra Alvarez Named 2026 District Teacher of the Year
Spearman ISD has officially named Alejandra “Alex” Alvarez the 2026 District Teacher of the Year, a prestigious honor that recognizes her commitment to the profession. Selected through a peer-nomination process, Alvarez was celebrated not just for her results in the classroom, but for a leadership style that colleagues describe as a "phenomenal force for good."
The award comes on the heels of a major professional milestone for Alvarez: earning her National Board Certification. The certification is widely considered the highest credential in the teaching profession, requiring years of reflection, data analysis, and documented excellence.
"She dedicated so much time to that process, and she is so deserving of this recognition," said one fellow educator. "Her love for her students shows in everything she does. She is a stellar teacher who is always willing to change, adapt, and grow."
What sets Alvarez apart, according to those who work alongside her, is her ability to bridge the gap between high expectations and deep compassion. Alvarez is known as a "forward-thinking" leader who leans into research and new instructional methods to better serve her students.
Her nomination forms were filled with praise for her "all-around team player" attitude. Whether she is volunteering for extra-curricular activities or mentoring other teachers, her impact is felt district-wide.
"Alex is an incredible teacher," one nomination read. "She is ALWAYS using every opportunity to teach, and doing it with kindness and love. She holds students accountable, but she does it while being their biggest advocate."
Her peers summarized her influence simply: she is a "kind and good teacher" who leads with both her heart and her head.
As the 2026 District Teacher of the Year, Alvarez will serve as an ambassador for her peers, carrying the torch for Spearman ISD as she advances to the Region 16 Teacher of the Year competition this summer
