There is so much talent within our staff at Spearman ISD. We would like to thank Mary, a Jr. High custodian, who came to talk to PK about what can be made from sheep’s wool once it is spun into yarn. She had blankets, caps, flowers, puppy hats, and coats. She even showed us how to crochet a flower. Thank you, Mary, for sharing your talent!
Good luck to our 7th and 8th grade Lynxettes. They will be participating in the District Basketball Tournament this Saturday, Feb. 3rd.

Shelby Regan teaches science at Spearman High School. Reagan has been with the district for the last two years, although she worked for Spearman for five years prior to her transition to Ralls ISD. “While being a full-time teacher and coaches’ wife is enough to keep Mrs. Reagan busy, she has gone above and beyond the call of duty for a high school teacher through her volunteering to sponsor the yearbook, serving as the social studies department chair, attending numerous extracurricular activities to not only support the students, but to also capture memories for students and parents to reflect on for years,” stated James Layman, Spearman High School principal. Layman continued,” One of the things that I appreciate most about Mrs. Reagan is her willingness to do whatever it takes to see kids succeed. I chose her as a member of my instructional leadership team because that is exactly what she is, a leader.”
When asked about Mrs. Reagan, Mrs. Baird stated, “Shelby Reagan is a true joy. Since she first began teaching at Spearman High School, her level of dedication has been incredible. She takes teaching seriously and cares about her students. She challenged herself and completed her master's degree in biology, which has been invaluable with our dual credit classes. Shelby jumps in to help without being asked, comes to school with a positive attitude each day, and has creative ideas for student and staff involvement. I am very proud of Shelby and all she does to go above and beyond.”
Congratulations on well-deserved award!
Lauren Meiwes is the high school consumer science teacher. She is one to always step up and find ways to make learning hands on and engaging for her students. She never had any sewing training, so this year she decided she wanted her students to learn the skill. “She took the sewing machines out of the closet and started learning. She searched You Tube and learned how to thread the machine, stitch, and she took off from there, stated James Layman, Spearman High School Principal.” Meiwes is quick to reach out to the community and find talented resources. The County Extension gave Meiwes a few names of people who knew the skill of sewing and a partnership with Marcia Halderman was formed. Together, they taught the students to sew and each student made Christmas stockings,” added Layman.
The all-staff Christmas party is an event that has been provided to the staff for the past three years. Decorating for the event can be quite an undertaking. “I started looking for someone who might be interested and it did not take long before I thought of Mrs. Meiwes,” commented Ramon. “Meiwes said, “Yes” and immediately went to work. She got the art and agriculture departments involved as well, and the Christmas party was as a beautiful as a high school prom,” added Ramon.
A portion of the school board appreciation meal was cooked by Mrs. Meiwes’ students. She searched the 2024 school board theme and went to work once again wanting to make the environment a place where everyone would feel appreciated. “She and her students started researching the history of Spearman and created a place where her students and guests learned new information and the food was delicious enough to talk about it a year from now,” smiled Layman.
The Above and Beyond award is given to someone that goes above and beyond the daily responsibilities. Mrs. Meiwes is someone who has done many tasks that have been beyond the daily responsibilities. Congratulations, on a job well done!
Good luck to our students showing in the Hansford County stock show today & tomorrow.
Our very own Destinee Perez will be signing her National Letter of Intent to run track and cross country at South Plains College this Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2024, at 1:00 pm in the high school library. All are welcome!
