Sweetwater ISD is proud to celebrate our Texas History Day teams and some outstanding high school juniors!
This marked our very first year participating in this incredible program, part of National History Day—and what a strong debut it was. We had three teams advance from the regional competition in Odessa and go on to represent Sweetwater at the State Competition in Austin this weekend.
Our students dedicated countless hours to their projects, bringing this year’s theme, “Revolution, Reaction, and Reform,” to life in creative and meaningful ways. Their hard work, passion, and commitment truly showed.
A big thank you to everyone who supported these students along the way. This is an accomplishment our entire community can be proud of, and we’re excited to see this program continue to grow in the years ahead.
Great job, Mustangs!
