Dear Big Sandy ISD Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! As your interim Superintendent, I'm honored to join this community and excited to begin a school year filled with fresh opportunities, high expectations, and a renewed focus on student success. Whether you're a returning family or new to Big Sandy ISD, we're proud to have you as part of our Wildcat family. Big Sandy ISD has much to be proud of-dedicated teachers and staff, strong community values, and a student body full of potential. At the same time, we recognize that we have important work to do. This is a challenge we are not shying away from-it's a responsibility we embrace with determination, urgency, and hope. This year, we're taking intentional steps to raise academic standards, support our teachers, and ensure that every student is challenged, supported, and prepared for the future. It won't happen overnight, but with a clear plan, high expectations, and a strong partnership between school and home, we will move forward together. To our students: We believe in your ability to grow, learn, and achieve more than you ever imagined. To our families: Your involvement is essential, and we're committed to open communication and collaboration every step of the way. Thank you for trusting us with your children. Thank you for believing in what's possible for Big Sandy ISD. Let's make this a year of growth, unity, and momentum-a year we'll be proud to look back on.
With gratitude and high expectations,
Rhonda D. Turner
Interim Superintendent of Schools
