Texhoma Public Schools opens transfers, hires staff, adds meal options

Texhoma families weighing next school year now have a districtwide deadline to watch: Texhoma Public Schools is accepting transfer applications for the 2026-2027 school year. The small district is pairing that open door with practical changes that affect the school day, including a second-chance breakfast, a grab-and-go lunch option for 5th- through 8th-grade students, and reminders about campus work that is still underway.

Enrollment at Texhoma is completed online through Sylogist, and the district’s Student Transfer Information page lays out capacity-and-openings updates for July 2025, October 2025 and January 2026. It also includes a parent’s guide to student transfers and an appeal form, giving families a clearer path if they are trying to plan ahead, move into the district or decide whether to stay put for the 2026-2027 year. In a town as small as Texhoma, Oklahoma, which covers just 0.6 square miles, those enrollment decisions can shape class sizes, staffing needs and busier parts of the campus calendar.

Texhoma is also using its website to show where the district is adjusting day-to-day operations. Beginning Wednesday, April 22, students got a “Second Chance” breakfast and a “Grab and Go” lunch option. The lunch choice is a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, offered as an additional option for 5th-8th grade students. For families juggling early mornings, work schedules and long school days, those meal changes can make it easier for students to eat without missing class time.

Staffing is another priority heading into the new school year. The district says it is hiring, including for an agricultural education teacher, a sign that Texhoma is planning ahead even as summer begins. Its board page lists Brady Mitchell as president, Heath Williams as vice president, Derik Ingram as clerk, along with Mike Yates and KD Bressler, and shows regular board meetings scheduled through June 10, 2026.

Graduation season is also part of the picture. Texhoma says diploma packets for the Class of 2026 are ready, and only the student or a parent or legal guardian may pick them up. At the same time, the new gym remains under construction and is not available for use until further notice, with the district telling people to stay out of the building while work continues.

Those facility updates fit into a larger capital plan. Texhoma maintains a 2024 bond-information page with a superintendent message, FAQs and a bond transparency flyer, underscoring that campus improvements are still moving forward. The district is also steering families toward Oklahoma’s Promise, the state tuition scholarship program promoted by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, which in December 2025 said current 12th-graders in the 2025-26 school year had a Dec. 31 application deadline after House Bill 1727 expanded eligibility.
