Snyder is well represented on the inaugural All-District 3-3A Academic Team, an award introduced last fall at the behest of Snyder ISD Supt. Dr. Ronny Collins.

“Most districts have it, and we had not been doing it,” Collins said. “I brought it up in August, and the other superintendents agreed.”

To be eligible, students must be a member of varsity in good standing and maintain a 90 average over the first five six weeks of the school year, which is why fall sports are only now being recognized.
