Five Good Things in Spring

Spring ISD celebrated a powerful full-circle moment as 32 graduating seniors signed letters of intent during the 10th annual Future Educators Signing Day at the Randall Reed Community Center at Planet Ford Stadium. Each student made a meaningful commitment to return home as a certified teacher after earning their college degree—supported by guaranteed placement in Spring ISD’s Student Teacher and Observation Hours Programs.

Representing Dekaney, Spring and Westfield high schools, these Class of 2026 scholars are heading to universities across Texas and beyond. When they return, they won’t just walk back through the doors—they’ll step into leadership, trading backpacks for lesson plans and student IDs for teacher badges. 👏🎓💚

Spring ISD's Livestock Show & Fair hit a milestone this year — 75 years of tradition and counting! Students, families and community members came together for three days of competition, growth and celebration, with competitors showing everything from livestock to artwork, baked goods and culinary creations. Behind every ribbon and every entry was months of dedication and discipline that showed up in a big way in the show ring and beyond. Here's to 75 years of building character one early morning at a time — and many more to come! 🐄🏆

The Spring ISD family showed up and showed out at the Houston Autism Walk 2026, led by the incredible students and staff of Westfield High School's V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. Program! The Vocational Independence Community Training of Outstanding Resilient Young Adults program is a post-graduation pathway for young adults with disabilities, providing a space inside Westfield where students continue to learn, grow and discover their strengths. Participating in the annual Autism walk was a natural extension of everything V.I.C.T.O.R.Y. stands for — community, resilience and heart! 👟💪

Spring ISD students from prekindergarten through 12th grade took on the 2025–2026 She Persisted Writing Contest—and the judges were truly impressed! Inspired by Chelsea Clinton’s She Persisted Around the World, students explored the stories of influential women and connected them to their own journeys with powerful, heartfelt writing. Submissions, guided by campus library media specialists and reviewed by a dedicated panel of judges, showcased voice, courage and creativity at every grade level.

Campus winners included Aiyanna Delaney (PreK–2 English, Eickenroht Elementary School), Darleyza Grande (3–5 English, Eickenroht Elementary School), Aylin Tejada (6–8 English, Claughton Middle School), Daniela Carbajal Villalobo (PreK–2 Spanish, Major Elementary School) and Kiumarlin Rodriguez (3–5 Spanish, Eickenroht Elementary School). Spring ISD young writers — your voices matter, your stories inspire, and you absolutely persisted! ✍️🌸

Bailey Middle School had the energy cranked up for its STAAR Prep Rally, bringing together students, staff, families and community partners — including Houston's own 97.9 The Box radio station — for a celebration built around academic readiness and motivation. Students got encouraging messages, helpful test-day resources and a whole lot of hype heading into STAAR season. Five standout 21st CCLC students were also recognized for demonstrating PBIS values through positive behavior, leadership and academic excellence, each walking away with a $100 gift card courtesy of Ross Dress for Less. Bailey Buccaneers, the prep is done — now go show STAAR what you're made of! 🌟🎉

Spring ISD Pre-K applications for the 2026-27 school year are now OPEN! The early years shape everything.
