Roughneck football season begins tonight with our 1st scrimmage of the year against Ralls at 6:00. The seniors will have a limited concession stand available, show up, watch the boys and spend a little money to help the seniors get started towards their trip to Florida!

Sundown ISD is proud to announce that we have earned an A Rating from the Texas Education Agency, not only as a district, but at all three of our campuses!
The rating is worth celebrating. Our kids are worth everything.
We are incredibly proud of this achievement, but an “A” has never been our ultimate goal. We don’t chase ratings. We do what is best for kids. Our work goes far beyond test scores. We build relationships. We develop character. We create opportunities. We apprentice kids by building resilience so they are brave enough to fail, learn, and grow. That is The Sundown Way.
We are proud of the “A,” but we are even prouder of the young people who leave Sundown prepared to take on the challenges of life! They leave us Sundown Smart, with Sundown Heart, and Sundown Strong! Congratulations to our incredible staff and students! This recognition reflects your hard work, commitment, and continued pursuit of excellence.
ALL A’s - The Sundown Way.
Love Others. Work Hard. Embrace Excellence.

Meet The Roughnecks will be held inside the game gym. We are currently in a lightning delay with strikes inside 10 miles. By UIL rules we can't have kids outside during a delay. We will start at 6:30 p.m. as scheduled.
2026-2027 yearbooks are on sale now! If you haven't seen last year's yearbook yet you should. They look really good. Tons of pictures of our kiddos!

FYI:
We are monitoring the weather and we will make a decision by 6:00 p.m. for Meet The Roughnecks. If the weather is not clear, we will move into the game gym. We will keep you posted on Facebook & SportsYou.

Team camp is about more than basketball, it’s about building relationships and making memories!
For one of Coach Neighbors team-building activities, everyone drew a teammate’s name and had to pick out an outfit for them from Goodwill. The catch? They had to wear it out to dinner!
Needless to say, there were some interesting fashion choices and plenty of laughs along the way. These are the moments that bring a team closer together and create memories that last long after camp is over.
Who do you think won “Best Dressed?” Coach Neighbors will be hard to beat!

Sundown Middle School hosted 6th Grade and New to SMS Orientation this morning and had a great turnout!
Mrs. Pena would like to thank Coach Neighbors, Mrs. Neighbors, Mrs. Terry, Ms. Marek, Mrs. Mesquias, Mrs. Zapata, Mrs. Majors, and Mr. Dietz for making today a huge success! We are so proud to have these students at the middle school!
