Just because it’s a new school year doesn’t mean our students have stopped being some of the best students in the Big Country! Once again, Ms. Salge has rounded up a great group of Anson High School students to lend a helping hand at the food bank.
On the last Thursday of each month (except November and December), our students head to Anson Methodist Church to give their time and energy to help organize, pack, and distribute food to members of our community.
This month, we want to recognize Naomi, Melanie, Mason, Hayden, and Leah for giving their time to serve others and represent Anson High School. These students rolled up their sleeves and showed that Tiger Pride is about more than just what happens in the classroom—it’s about giving back to your community!
This incredible community effort has been going strong for over 25 years, thanks in large part to Barbara Berry, who has been organizing and helping coordinate the food bank for more than two decades. Bruce Morgan, along with Julie, Rhonda, Cathy, Dorothy, Kay, and Curtis, also help make sure everything runs smoothly and our community is taken care of.
And you can always count on Joe Boaz to show his love for the USA! 🇺🇸 His patriotic spirit is always on full display!
A HUGE THANK YOU to Naomi, Melanie, Mason, Hayden, and Leah for giving their time, helping others, and showing what it means to be an Anson Tiger. We are proud of you!
New school year. Same Tiger spirit. Still making a difference!

Service with a Smile: Anson High School Delivers Meals on Wheels
High school is full of lessons, but some of the most important ones happen far beyond the classroom. At Anson High School, students are stepping up to serve their neighbors by delivering hot food and warm smiles through the local Meals on Wheels program.
At the center of this effort is Mrs. Salge, an extraordinary leader who sets a powerful example for every student involved. Her hands-on dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to serving others show teenagers what true leadership looks like in action. By walking the talk, Mrs. Salge inspires her students to show up with enthusiasm, patience, and heart.
To all our incredible Anson High School students: thank you for everything you do.
Whether you are delivering meals with a smile, showing up for your classmates, or lending a hand in our town, your energy and heart do not go unnoticed. You prove every day that leadership isn't about waiting for the future—it's about making a difference right now.

The Anson Bands came together last night for a tremendous Spring Concert at the Anson Auditorium. The evening featured performances from the 6th Grade Band, the 7th/8th Grade Band, and the Tiger Band, showcasing the hard work and dedication of students from every level of the program. Family, friends, and community members filled the auditorium to support the talented musicians as they performed a variety of selections throughout the night.
Under the leadership of Mr. Flippo, Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Hartman, the students demonstrated outstanding growth, musicianship, and pride in representing Anson ISD. Each group brought energy and passion to the stage, making the concert a memorable experience for everyone in attendance.
One of the highlights of the evening came during the final performance when all three bands joined together on stage and around the auditorium to perform as one combined group. Seeing students from 6th grade through high school united in music was a special moment that showcased the strength, tradition, and future of the Anson band program. The powerful finale brought the crowd to its feet and served as a perfect ending to an outstanding night of music and school pride.
The Battle, The Triumph, and The Spirit: Reflecting on Battle of the Classes 2026
As the final weeks of the school year wind down and we prepare to close the chapter on another incredible year, one event still echoes loudly through the hallways: Battle of the Classes.
It is the ultimate tradition—a day where academic stress is traded for school colors, strategy, and pure determination. But looking back on this year’s battle, it was about so much more than just points on a scoreboard. It was a masterclass in what happens when a group of individuals learns to move, think, and fight as one.
Every year, Battle of the Classes starts the same way: with a lot of noise, a lot of ego, and a healthy dose of chaos. At first, it’s a scramble. But as the events rolled out—from the intense tug-of-war to the chaotic relay races—something shifted.
We saw students who rarely talk in the hallways huddled together. We saw natural leaders step up, and quiet strategists found their voice. The true magic of the day wasn’t just the athletic feats; it was the realization that no single person can carry a whole class to victory. Success requires communication, sacrifice, and trust. We learned to lift each other up when we stumbled and to cheer just as loudly for our classmates as we would for ourselves.
For the Senior class, this year’s Battle of the Classes was personal. After years of coming close, enduring heartbreaking near-misses, and watching previous graduating classes claim the glory, the pressure was on. This was their final stand. And did they ever deliver.
Through sheer grit, tactical execution, and an unbreakable bond forged over four years together, the Seniors dominated the final events. When the final whistle blew and their victory was officially announced, the eruption of joy in the gymnasium was unforgettable. As the Senior class finally raised the coveted Battle of the Classes Trophy high above their heads, it wasn't just a win for the day—it was a beautifully deserved culmination of their entire high school journey.
When the dust settled, the bleachers emptied, and the voices grew hoarse, one truth remained: Battle of the Classes isn't ultimately about who takes home the trophy, nor is it about the rivalry between grades.
It is a celebration of our collective community. It is about the thunderous noise of hundreds of voices cheering for the same goal. It is about the shared laughs, the high-fives between classes, and the pride of belonging to a school that knows how to unite.
Congratulations to the Seniors on a historic win, and thank you to every single student who brought their energy, passion, and heart. We showed what we can achieve when we work as a team, and that spirit is the best possible note to end the school year on.
Today was a truly special day at Anson High School as we gathered for our Annual Academic Awards Assembly. It is a momentous occasion where we pause to recognize the relentless hard work, intellectual curiosity, and dedication our students bring to the classroom every single day.
From acing complex exams to showing incredible growth in their studies, the achievements we celebrated today are a testament to the "Tiger Spirit." To all the students who received awards: we are beyond proud of you. Your commitment to excellence sets a high bar for our entire school community!
🚌 Fueling the Ride: The Energy Bus
We also took a moment to celebrate how our students have embraced the principles of The Energy Bus. By fueling our "bus" with positive energy and vision, these scholars have proven that a great attitude is the ultimate engine for success. They aren't just passengers; they are drivers of their own bright futures!
🎓 Honoring the Class of 2026
A significant highlight of the ceremony was honoring our Senior Class of 2026. As they prepare to embark on their final journey toward graduation, today served as a reflection of their four years of academic perseverance.
Scholarship & Leadership: We recognized the seniors who have led by example, both in academic rigor and character.
A Legacy of Success: This class has shown remarkable resilience, and seeing them stand tall today reminds us that the future is in very capable hands.
