Anson High School Student Mason Coe Makes His Voice Heard at City Council Meeting
Anson High School student Mason Coe recently demonstrated that leadership and community involvement have no age requirement when he addressed the Anson City Council regarding Resolution 102626, Supporting Poppy Flowers in the City of Anson.
Standing before city leaders, Mason took the opportunity to speak about an issue important to his community. His willingness to participate in local government demonstrated confidence, initiative, and a commitment to making a difference beyond the classroom.
While many students are still discovering how they can impact the world around them, Mason is already putting those lessons into action. By taking an active role in a city council meeting, he showed that young people have a voice and can contribute to conversations that shape their community.
Mason's involvement is another example of the outstanding things Anson High School students are accomplishing every day. Whether through community service, leadership, academics, or civic involvement, our students continue to make their mark and build legacies that extend far beyond graduation.
Anson High School is proud of Mason Coe for stepping forward, representing his school, and demonstrating what it means to be an engaged and responsible member of the community.
Great job, Mason! Keep making your mark and showing everyone what Tiger Pride is all about!

Cruisin’ Into a Bright Future: Anson Elementary Hosts 2nd Annual Car Show
Anson Elementary School traded textbooks for tires and classrooms for classic cars as students enjoyed a fun-filled morning at the 2nd Annual AES Car Show!
On Thursday, October 22, Anson Elementary students had the opportunity to take a break from their normal school routine and experience something a little different. The school welcomed car enthusiasts and community members who brought out their favorite rides for students to admire and explore.
From classic cars and vintage hot rods to impressive muscle cars, the event gave students a chance to see a variety of vehicles up close. Excitement filled the air as students walked among the cars, admired their unique features, and enjoyed a morning of fun outside the traditional classroom setting.
This year's theme, "Cruisin' Into a Bright Future — Building Bright Futures, One Student at a Time," highlighted the school's commitment to creating memorable educational experiences. While the cars were certainly the stars of the show, the real purpose of the event was to bring students, staff, and the community together for a morning of excitement and learning.
Unlike traditional car shows, this event wasn't about trophies or competition. Instead, it was about giving students an opportunity to experience something new, spark their curiosity, and simply enjoy being kids. The smiles, laughter, and excitement throughout the morning were proof that sometimes the best school memories are made outside the classroom.
Events like the AES Car Show remind us that education is about more than books and assignments. It's also about building relationships, creating experiences, and giving students opportunities to discover new interests.
A special thank-you goes out to all the car owners, community members, teachers, and staff who helped make the 2nd Annual AES Car Show possible. Your willingness to share your time and vehicles helped create a memorable experience for our students.
At Anson Elementary, we're not just learning for today — we're cruisin' toward a bright future, one student at a time!

The Great Gatsby Goes on Trial at Anson High School
Anson High School students brought literature to life as they turned their classroom into a courtroom to put one of literature’s most famous characters on trial!
Students in Mr. Chappell’s Dual Credit English 1301-16 Composition I class recently completed reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Rather than simply writing a traditional book report, students took their understanding of the novel to the next level by participating in a mock civil trial to determine whether Daisy Buchanan should be held legally responsible for Jay Gatsby’s death.
The classroom was transformed into a courtroom as students dressed as characters from the novel and stepped into the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and jury members. Both sides presented their arguments, examined evidence from the story, and worked to persuade the jury to reach a verdict.
The creative assignment challenged students to think critically, analyze characters' actions and motivations, develop persuasive arguments, and apply communication skills in a realistic courtroom setting. It also encouraged teamwork, public speaking, and a deeper understanding of the novel’s themes of love, responsibility, and consequences.
Under the guidance of Mr. Chappell, students discovered that literature can be much more than words on a page. By bringing The Great Gatsby into the courtroom, they experienced firsthand how different perspectives and interpretations can shape an argument.
At Anson High School, learning goes beyond the textbook, and sometimes the best way to understand a great story is to put it on trial!

Walking a Mile in Their Shoes: Parents Experience a Day at Anson High School
ANSON, TX — Anson High School welcomed parents and guardians into the classrooms for its annual Walk a Mile in My Shoes event, giving families a firsthand look at what students experience during a typical school day.
Instead of simply hearing about their child's classes at the dinner table, parents had the opportunity to experience the learning environment themselves. From participating in classroom discussions to completing activities alongside students, parents got a glimpse of the expectations, challenges, and opportunities that make up a day at Anson High School.
Teachers embraced the opportunity to showcase what students have been learning, creating interactive lessons that encouraged parents to get involved. Some parents even found themselves back in the hot seat, answering questions, making decisions, and remembering what it feels like to be a student again!
One of the highlights of the day was the Anson High School pep rally, where parents got to experience another exciting part of being an Anson Tiger. The gym was filled with school spirit, cheers, and excitement as students and parents came together to support the Tigers. Parents didn't just sit back and watch, either! Many joined in on the fun, participating in the festivities and showing off their Tiger pride. For a few moments, it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the students or their parents!
The event was about more than just academics and school spirit. It provided an opportunity to strengthen the connection between families, teachers, and students. Parents gained a better understanding of the work their children do each day, while students had the chance to share their school experiences with the people who support them at home.
Of course, there were plenty of smiles and laughs along the way. After all, it's not every day that students get to watch their parents take on classroom assignments and then join them in the excitement of a high school pep rally!
Anson High School would like to thank all the parents and guardians who took time out of their busy schedules to participate. Their enthusiasm, involvement, and willingness to join in the fun demonstrate the strong community support that makes Anson ISD such a special place.
At Anson High School, education is a team effort, school spirit runs deep, and sometimes the best way to understand a student's journey is to walk a mile in their shoes!

🐝 A Buzzworthy Learning Experience
Our Middle and High School students took learning outside the classroom on October 7th with a visit to Sadie Grace Farms in Lawn, Texas!
The hands-on field trip brought science and agriculture to life as students explored the vital role honeybees play in our local ecosystem and global food supply.
The highlight of the trip was seeing thousands of bees up close! Students watched intently as the expert beekeeper pulled honeycomb frames straight out of the hive box, explaining hive hierarchy, queen bee identification, and honey production.
Donning protective beekeeping gear, our students got a firsthand look into what it feels like to be a beekeeper while learning about sustainable farming and environmental biology.
Students learned how bees pollinate crops across Texas, connecting classroom science concepts directly to real-world impact.
The day wrapped up with a delicious tasting of fresh, local honey!
A big thank you to Sadie Grace Farms for welcoming our students and providing an unforgettable educational experience!
Anson's Hemee Peacock Shares Powerful Testimony at Fields of Faith
ANSON, TX — Anson High School student Hemee Peacock took center stage Wednesday evening, October 14, as she shared her personal testimony during the 2026 Fields of Faith event at Abilene Christian University's Wildcat Stadium.
Hosted by the Big Country Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), the event brought together members of the Big Country community for an evening of worship, encouragement, and student-led testimonies.
For Anson High School, the evening was especially meaningful as Hemee stepped forward to share her faith with those in attendance. Speaking in front of a large gathering takes courage, but sharing a personal testimony requires an entirely different level of confidence and vulnerability.
One of the most memorable parts of the evening was the support her received from the fellow Anson students. Tigers made the trip to Abilene to stand behind one of their own, demonstrating that the Anson community supports its students both inside and outside the classroom.
Their presence was a reminder that school pride extends far beyond athletics, academics, and extracurricular competitions. Sometimes, it is simply about showing up for someone who has the courage to stand in front of others and share something meaningful.
Hemee has continued to demonstrate leadership through her involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, including organizing Wednesday FCA Huddles and helping coordinate Anson ISD's See You at the Pole event earlier this school year.
Fields of Faith provided another opportunity for her to lead by example, encouraging others through her personal experiences and beliefs.
The annual FCA gathering encourages students to take an active role in sharing their faith and supporting one another. Wednesday's event brought that mission to life through worship, personal stories, and fellowship.
Anson ISD is proud of Hemee Peacock for her courage, leadership, and willingness to share her testimony. We are equally proud of the Anson students who took time out of their evening to support their fellow Tiger.
Wednesday night was about more than one student speaking in front of a crowd. It was about faith, friendship, courage, and a community coming together.

Leaving Their Mark: Class of 2026 Legacy Gift
The Anson Class of 2026 has officially left its mark on Anson ISD with a special legacy gift that will remain on campus for years to come.
The 2026 senior class donated a large red and black AT emblem, which now proudly hangs on the exterior of the high school. More than just a piece of artwork, the gift represents the pride, memories, and school spirit of the Class of 2026. Long after graduation, future Tigers will walk past it and be reminded of the class that helped add another piece of history to Anson High School.
Today, Mr. McCurdy and Mr. Wilson put the finishing touch on the project by hanging the emblem in its new home. With the Class of 2026 marking included on the artwork, there will be no question who helped make this addition to the campus possible.
Senior year is filled with lasts—the last first day of school, the last homecoming, the last football game, and eventually the final walk across the graduation stage. But this legacy gift gives the Class of 2026 something that won't disappear when the school year ends.
Thank you to the Class of 2026 for leaving behind a little piece of yourselves and a whole lot of Tiger pride. Your time at Anson ISD may be coming to an end, but your mark on the school will remain.

National Principals Month
Rock, Paper, Scissors Takes Over Anson High School
Who says you need a Friday night football game to have a little competition at Anson High School?
With the Tigers having an off week from football, AHS found another way to keep the competitive spirit alive with a schoolwide Rock, Paper, Scissors competition. Students faced off throughout the school, trying to outthink their opponents with one of the oldest strategies around: rock, paper, or scissors.
Students weren't the only ones getting involved. Teachers joined in on the action as well, proving that when it comes to Rock, Paper, Scissors, experience doesn't always guarantee victory. The competition brought plenty of laughs, friendly trash talk, and school spirit to the halls of AHS.
As the competition narrowed down, one competitor managed to outlast the rest. Connor Plank came out victorious, earning the title of Anson High School's Rock, Paper, Scissors champion!
Even during an off week for Tiger football, Anson High School showed that we can still find plenty of ways to compete, laugh, and have a good time together.
A big thank you to the Anson High School STUCO staff for putting the competition together and giving students and teachers a chance to have some fun during the school day.
Congratulations, Connor — enjoy the bragging rights while they last. There's always next year's rematch!

JR Ag Day Brings Agriculture to the Big Country Students
This week, Elementary students from Stamford, Hawley, Lueders-Avoca, Hamlin, and Anson gathered here at the Anson Show Barns for JR Ag Day. The event allowed students to learn more about agriculture and the many ways it affects their everyday lives.
JR Ag Day was organized through 4-H, with Clay and Kellie helping put the event together. Throughout the day, students rotated through different agricultural topics and learned about areas they may not have known much about before.
Students learned about power lines, cotton, rain precipitation, crop dusters, feedlots, goats, game wardens, and show steers. The students were able to see live goats while also learning about show steers. The students were allowed to have interactive contact with show steer equipment as well as hand-to-fur contact with the goats.
The students were excited and happy throughout the day, although the Texas heat made things a little challenging. Even with the hot weather, the students were able to stay involved and learn about each topic.
Events like JR Ag Day are important because they introduce children to agriculture at a young age. By teaching students about agriculture early, they can better understand how agriculture affects their communities and everyday lives.
After learning about the different agricultural topics, the students ate lunch before heading back to school. Although it was hot, JR Ag Day was a successful day of educating local elementary students about agriculture and giving them a chance to learn about the many different parts of the agricultural industry!

Anson ISD Comes Together for See You at the Pole
Students, staff, and community members across Anson ISD came together this moring before school to take part in See You at the Pole, joining schools across the country in a morning centered on prayer, unity, and fellowship.
This year’s event was organized for Anson schools by Hemee Peacock, whose efforts helped bring students and staff together across the district. From elementary students to middle school and high school students, the event provided an opportunity for the different campuses of Anson ISD to participate in a shared experience.
See You at the Pole is a student-focused event traditionally held around school flagpoles, where participants gather before the school day to pray for their school, classmates, teachers, families, community, and nation.
One of the most meaningful parts of this year’s event was seeing all of Anson’s schools come together. Although students spend their days on different campuses and in different classrooms, the gathering served as a reminder that they are all part of one Anson ISD family.
A special thank-you goes to Hemee Peacock for organizing and coordinating the event for Anson schools and helping provide students with the opportunity to participate. It is students like this that make the community what it is.
The morning was about more than simply gathering around a flagpole. It was a chance for students and community members to support one another, reflect, and begin the day together.
For Anson ISD, See You at the Pole was another example of what can happen when Tigers of all ages come together as one community.

**Anson Elementary Students Shine Bright at Drug-Free Color Run**
Anson Elementary students brought vibrant energy and high spirits to the athletic track as they participated in a special Drug-Free Color Run aimed at encouraging healthy, active living.
The event came together thanks to a community partnership initiated over the summer when Kayla Arce from Anson General Hospital reached out to Brianna Scitern Anson Elementary Principal to propose hosting the run. Elementary administration partnered with Coach Wheeler to coordinate the use of the high school athletic track, giving students a fantastic space to run, laugh, and celebrate health.
Sponsored entirely by Anson General Hospital, the event was provided at no cost to the school. The hospital donated a complete event kit for each participant, including custom t-shirts, sunglasses, wristbands, water bottles, crayons, and educational coloring books.
Before taking off from the starting line, Kayla addressed the students, sharing an inspiring message about the importance of making positive, healthy choices for their minds and bodies. The theme of the day was proudly displayed on the back of every student's shirt: **"BE YOURSELF. BE UNIQUE. BE DRUG FREE."**
Once the race officially kicked off, students completed a course ranging from 300 to 400 yards at their own pace. As they rounded the track, volunteer staff and organizers tossed bursts of vibrant red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and green powder, covering the runners in a rainbow of color.
After crossing the finish line, students cooled down with water and headed home with their drug-free coloring books, taking both bright memories and a strong message about healthy living back into the community.

Anson Elementary students brought vibrant energy and high spirits to the athletic track as they participated in a special Drug-Free Color Run aimed at encouraging healthy, active living.
The event came together thanks to a community partnership initiated over the summer when Kayla Arce from Anson General Hospital reached out to Brianna Scitern Anson Elementary Principal to propose hosting the run. Elementary administration partnered with Coach Wheeler to coordinate the use of the high school athletic track, giving students a fantastic space to run, laugh, and celebrate health.
Sponsored entirely by Anson General Hospital, the event was provided at no cost to the school. The hospital donated a complete event kit for each participant, including custom t-shirts, sunglasses, wristbands, water bottles, crayons, and educational coloring books.
Before taking off from the starting line, Kayla addressed the students, sharing an inspiring message about the importance of making positive, healthy choices for their minds and bodies. The theme of the day was proudly displayed on the back of every student's shirt: **"BE YOURSELF. BE UNIQUE. BE DRUG FREE."**
Once the race officially kicked off, students completed a course ranging from 300 to 400 yards at their own pace. As they rounded the track, volunteer staff and organizers tossed bursts of vibrant red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, purple, and green powder, covering the runners in a rainbow of color.
After crossing the finish line, students cooled down with water and headed home with their drug-free coloring books, taking both bright memories and a strong message about healthy living back into the community.

Future FFA Leaders Take the Field at Greenhand Day!
More than 200 freshmen gather at Anson High School for a day of teamwork, leadership, and fun.
Anson High School welcomed more than 200 first-year FFA members from 12 schools on Tuesday, September 15, for the Double Mountain District FFA Greenhand Day. Participating schools included Hawley, Anson, Roby, Hamlin, and Stamford, among others.
Greenhand Day is designed specifically for ninth-grade students who are new to FFA, giving them an opportunity to meet fellow members, develop leadership skills, and discover what the organization has to offer. The event brought students from across the district together for a day filled with team-building games, leadership activities, and plenty of fun.
The Double Mountain District FFA officers took charge of running the day's events, putting their own leadership skills to work while helping the newest generation of FFA members build confidence, communicate, and work together.
Anson High School was well represented in the district officer team, with Miley Adkins serving as District Reporter and Mason Coe serving as District Secretary. Both students helped lead the activities and demonstrated the leadership opportunities available through FFA.
Mr. Scitern and Mr. Gesling Anson HS FFA advisors helped host the event, providing students with an opportunity to connect with members from neighboring schools while learning the importance of teamwork and leadership.
Beyond the games and activities, Greenhand Day served a larger purpose: helping new members feel welcome and encouraging them to become involved in FFA throughout their high school years.
With 12 schools represented and more than 150 students participating, the event brought together the next generation of agricultural leaders for a memorable day at Anson High School.
One thing is certain: the future of FFA is in good hands, and the Tigers were proud to help welcome its newest members!

Accounting in Action: Students Give Back Through Meals on Wheels
Anson High School’s Accounting II students are taking what they have learned in the classroom and putting those skills to work in the community. Under the guidance of their sponsor, **Mrs. Fladager**, students are collecting donations to support **Meals on Wheels** while gaining valuable real-world accounting experience.
The service project gives students an opportunity to experience the responsibilities that come with handling and managing money. As donations are collected, students are responsible for helping organize the funds, maintaining accurate records, and tracking the money using **QuickBooks**.
Rather than simply learning accounting concepts from a textbook, students are seeing firsthand why accuracy, organization, and accountability are so important when dealing with real money. The project also gives them practical experience using QuickBooks, a program commonly used by businesses to manage financial information.
Most importantly, the students are using their education to make a difference. Their work helps support Meals on Wheels and the important services it provides to members of the local community.
**Mrs. Fladager and her Accounting II students are showing that some of the best lessons happen when classroom skills meet real-world experience—and when those skills can be used to help others.**
