Hedley Independent School District

Good luck to our Hedley Owls as they take on the Guthrie Jags tonight!

HISD wants to thank the Brooks family for coming and sharing their story about their son, Whitt. Our staff and students were blessed by hearing their story. ❤️ #yourlifematters

Mrs. Koetting’s 10th grade Ag students have been hard at work welding horseshoes into creative designs! Their projects include crosses, pumpkins, turkeys, snowmen, and Christmas trees. You’ll have a chance to win one of these unique displays of craftsmanship at Bingo next Saturday during Cottonfest. Come out and support our students’ creativity!

Mrs. Koetting’s Advanced Animal Science class have been learning about anatomical planes and directions. For their final assignment students created their animal out of sweet potatoes, tooth picks and marshmallows. Students were given a prompt using anatomical words and phrases like ‘cranial, caudal, lateral, medial, transverse, and dorsal’ and had to draw the correct shape that corresponded with the correct location on the animal.

Our school is doing a Climate Survey to learn about students, staff, and families perceptions of safety, relationships, and support here at Hedley ISD. This survey is part of our work with the Stronger Connections Grant and aligns with the Student Support Framework. We'd appreciate if you'd take the time to complete the survey to help us be better for you and your children. Thank you!

On October 2, 2025, Hedley ISD will be hosting “All things Whitt” at 1:50pm in the library- a Mental Health & Suicide
Awareness program to 6th – 12th graders. Parents are welcome to attend!
The presentation is provided by Robby & Sheridan Brooks in honor of their son, Whitt, who
tragically took his own life on August 7, 2021. The Brooks have a mission to raise awareness and
provide a detailed look at what actually happens to the family that is left behind.
More information on the Brooks family and their mission can be
found on Facebook @allthingswhitt or to email - allthingswhitt@gmail.com.

These glasses were found in a restroom. If they belong to you, or your child, please see Ms. Campbell in the office!
