Seminole, where the future is now.

Seminole Independent School District is committed to excellence in every area, developing the best in each student and staff member, maintaining a top-notch physical plant, and preparing its charges for success in life.

As is the case in most communities, the school system is the hub of activities. when a need is identified, Seminole ISD seeks to fill it in the most efficient and effective manner possible.

Academically, the district's campuses consistently score "exemplary" or "recognized," the two highest rankings available from the Texas Education Agency. Seminole ISD has achieved state-level success in virtually every area of school life: UIL Academics, Speech and Debate, One-Act-Play, Band, Choir, Journalism, Industrial and Vocational Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Career and Technology and Athletics.  The staff of Seminole ISD is dedicated to providing a personalized educational plan for every student.

Musically, the high school's band and choir consistently win sweepstakes trophies and place students in honor groups across the state and nation. In 1984 they won the Texas State Solo and Ensemble Competition overall music championship. The men's A Cappella Choir in 1997 and the Mixed A Cappella Choir in 1999 were named TMEA honor choirs and performed at the state convention in San Antonio.

Athletically, SHS has won six state championships in three team sports. Girls volleyball teams have won championships in 1971, 1977 and 1978; boy's basketball teams have won state championships in 1955 and 1979; and in 1948 boys track won the state title. SHS athletes have also won state medalist honors in tennis and power lifting.

Seminole students and teachers have been recognized on the state and national level in a variety of competitions. Both special education and gifted & talented programs exist at all levels to educate students at their individual learning rate.

The school works to educate more than its students. A program works with parents of special-needs children from birth to age three, and the Adult Education Center offers education classes in English, Spanish and German to  help post school-age dropouts complete their education. Additionally, the district is helping staff members attend college to receive their teacher certification or graduate degree.

Voters on May 12, 2007 passed a $110 million bond election to improve facilities and maintain equipment. This faith in the school system ensures that excellence and a quality education will remain important as Seminole ISD prepares to enter its second century of service to the citizens of Seminole and Gaines County.
