A Note From the Principal

November 8, 2026

Dear SHS Parents and Guardians,
At Splendora High School, we believe that every student deserves high-quality learning experiences, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to grow into a successful, well-rounded individual. Regular attendance is an important part of making that happen! Each day students are on campus, they have opportunities to engage in meaningful instruction, collaborate with peers, build relationships with teachers, and develop the skills necessary for future success. While we understand that illness and unforeseen circumstances sometimes arise, being at school consistently ensures students don't miss valuable learning opportunities that are difficult to recreate.
Our commitment is to ensure every Wildcat graduates life ready, meaning they are prepared for college, a career, or the military. Developing strong attendance habits is part of that preparation. Showing up on time, being present, and following through on commitments are essential life skills that will serve students well beyond high school. We ask our parents and families to partner with us in making daily attendance a priority. Together, we can ensure our students are present, connected, engaged, and prepared for the opportunities that lie ahead. Every day counts, every relationship matters, and every Wildcat deserves the opportunity to succeed!
Principal Molly Buford
 

The Ultimate Attendance Challenge

Are you ready for a little friendly competition? Get ready to put your Rock, Paper, Scissors skills to the test in our Ultimate Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge! One random day between November 9th and Thanksgiving Break, the competition will take over SHS, and the goal is simple: collect as many bead necklaces as you can, challenge your classmates (and even teachers!), and compete for a chance to win a PAIR OF AIRPODS!

But watch out… one tardy could cost you ALL your beads!

Think you've got what it takes to be the ultimate champion? Watch the video for all the details, rules, and how to play. Let the games begin!

Big Ideas Start in Our Classrooms!

Behind every creative classroom idea is a teacher who wants to give students something special. The Splendora ISD Education Foundation helps bring those ideas to life through educator grants funded by generous donors and community partners. Thank you to everyone who helps create more opportunities for our Wildcats to learn, explore, and grow!
Want to see community support in action? Follow us for classroom stories, student opportunities, and ways to get involved!
 

Effective Advising Framework Family Survey

The counseling department is seeking feedback on how school counselors and staff engage with families and caregivers regarding student advising and post-secondary opportunities.

We’ve created the following survey to gather your input, which will help inform any necessary changes to our practices. Your honest responses are appreciated — the survey is completely anonymous.

Please read each statement carefully and select the answer choice that best reflects your experience.

Here are the surveys, one in English and one in Spanish.



The deadline to complete the survey is November 10, so we would appreciate your participation.
