Texhoma Public Schools seeks certified head baseball coach for 2026-27

Texhoma Public Schools was looking for a certified head baseball coach with teaching duties for the 2026-27 school year, a search that tied one opening to both the classroom and the field in a district of 190 students.

The district’s careers page said it was accepting applications for the next school year and made clear that there were no non-certified positions at this time. That narrowed the search to a licensed educator who could fit into the school day and into the baseball program, a combination that carries extra weight in a small district where each hire can affect multiple parts of student life.

Applicants were being asked to send a resume, teacher certification and application materials to Superintendent Tom Schroeder, Principal Tammie Breeden or Athletic Director Greg Higgins. The district’s athletics page listed Sam Bond as baseball head coach and Greg Higgins as athletic director, while the careers page pointed to a certified head baseball coach opening, signaling that Texhoma was planning ahead for the 2026-27 year while its current athletic structure remained in place.

The opening mattered well beyond one coaching job. In Texhoma, a teacher-coach role can influence course offerings, schedule coverage and the continuity of extracurricular programs. If the vacancy lingers, it could affect how the district staffs classes, manages baseball and keeps activities steady in a school system that has to stretch a limited number of certified employees across several responsibilities.

Texhoma’s homepage added another certified opening to the mix: the district also was looking for an Agricultural Education Teacher for 2026-27. That parallel search suggests the school system was working to fill multiple classroom-linked jobs at once, a sign of the competition rural districts face when they need teachers who can also lead programs that matter to students and families.

The staffing push came as Texhoma was juggling facility and financial priorities. The district said its new gym was under construction and not in use, adding another reason athletic programming had to stay organized and staffed. Public transparency data listed Texhoma’s enrollment at 190 and total expenditures of $3,286,419.63, underscoring how a small system can feel the impact of every certified vacancy.

That same transparency framework showed the district’s broader capital planning, too. Texhoma Public Schools’ bond FAQ said the combined total for Texhoma Bond 2024 was $4,640,000, placing the hiring effort alongside ongoing work on facilities and long-range budgeting. In a town like Texhoma, where the school serves as a major institutional anchor in Texas County and the Oklahoma Panhandle, one coaching-and-teaching hire can shape far more than a single season.
