SHS students involved in serious vehicle accident- SISD releases statement

Dear Sanger ISD Staff/Parents/Students, and Community,

It is with deep sorrow that we share the tragic news that three members of our Sanger ISD cross country family were involved in a serious vehicle accident last night. One student, a 2025 graduate of Sanger High School, sadly passed away at the scene of the accident. Two additional Sanger High School students were transported to the hospital for medical care.

This heartbreaking tragedy has impacted our entire school community, and our thoughts and prayers are with the students, their families, friends, classmates, and everyone affected.

In times like these, it is important that we come together to support one another with compassion and care. Counselors and support staff will be available to assist students and staff members who may need emotional support during the coming days. Counselors will be on call throughout the weekend and available Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for any Sanger ISD student or staff member needing support.

If you or your child needs assistance over the weekend, please contact the high school principal, Carly Sperry, by email at carly.sperry@sangerisd.net. She will be monitoring communication throughout the weekend.

We ask our community to keep the families in your prayers and to respect their privacy as they navigate this unimaginable situation. We also encourage parents to check in with their children, as news like this can be difficult for students to process.

As additional information regarding services or support opportunities becomes available and is shared with the family’s permission, we will communicate that with our community.

Please continue to keep all three students and their loved ones in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tommy Hunter

Sanger ISD Superintendent
