Schools

The new state law banning cellphones has been well received by students. Since its implementation, we have observed noticeable improvements in social skills, participation in outdoor activities, and overall academic performance. Students are now more talkative during lunch, engaging in meaningful conversations with their peers and teachers.

The first six weeks of school has been completed at Hemphill High School. Students making the honor roll for this grading period are listed here.

The West Sabine Tigers made the trek south to battle the Evadale Rebels with the district 12-2A title on the line October 24. After forcing a Rebel three and out the Tigers fumbled the pigskin away on their possession, setting up Evadale for a 25 yard TD pass to take the early lead.
