Quitman County schools spotlight athletics, name Ricardo Sacks coordinator

Quitman County School District’s athletics page now serves as the main stop for sports information, with Ricardo Sacks listed as athletic coordinator and basketball materials marked for the 2025-2026 school year. The page gives parents and students one place to find schedules, coach contacts and links to the campuses that are organizing the season.

The district has centered 2025-26 basketball information for Madison S. Palmer High School and Quitman County Middle School on that athletics hub. By putting the sport-specific details together instead of scattering them across separate pages or informal updates, the district has made it easier for families to see who to contact and where to look before games begin.

That approach fits a district website that already treats athletics as part of its core family services. On the main site, the athletics area sits alongside registration, employment, calendars and other parent-facing resources, and the district identifies itself as being based in Marks, Mississippi, while serving the entire county of Quitman. The district office is listed at 1362 Martin Luther King Drive in Marks, with a 662 area code contact number for families needing to reach the office directly.

For a county where school life and community life overlap across Marks, Lambert, Crowder and Falcon, a centralized athletics page can do more than post scores. It gives families a single place to check season information, coordinate participation and plan transportation without depending on word of mouth or constant social media updates. The page’s plain design still carries weight because it keeps sports information visible and organized for families who need it most.

The district’s staffing and enrollment figures show why that matters. Ballotpedia’s district profile says Quitman County School District served about 820 students across four schools in the 2024 school year. U.S. News Education lists the district’s student-to-teacher ratio at 12:1, says 72.7% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and notes that the district has two full-time counselors.

Sacks also appears on the district’s elementary contact page as an academic officer at Quitman County Elementary School, making him a familiar administrative name beyond athletics alone. In a small district, that kind of overlap can help keep school communication clear, especially when basketball season is about to pull students, parents and coaches into the same calendar.
