Spring Creek Independent School District

The Spring Creek Independent School District is a public school district located in southeastern Hutchinson County, Texas, United States.

The district consists of a single campus, Spring Creek Elementary School, that serves students in grades pre-kindergarten through six. To boost enrollment, Spring Creek also accepts transfer students from outside of the district.[1]

Secondary students (grades 7-12) from Spring Creek attend school in one of three neighboring districts – Borger, Plemons-Stinnett-Phillips, or White Deer.[1]

In 2009, the school district was rated "exemplary" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]

History

The first Spring Creek School building was built in 1900, one year prior to the organization of Hutchinson County, on the Harvey Ranch. In its first year, there were a total of seven school-aged students, six males and one female, and six under school age for a total of 13. In 1901, the Hutchinson County Commissioners Court divided the county into four school districts, Spring Creek being named district #4. The school moved to several different locations until the 1930s, when a red brick school building was constructed. On March 8, 1938, the school was dedicated in a ceremony attended by approximately 500 people. The Spring Creek Independent School District was formed in 1949.[3]

On September 22, 2001, Spring Creek celebrated its 100th anniversary and held an all-school reunion as well as an official historical marker dedication.[3]
