A Word from Sandites
"As a lifelong Sandite, some of my favorite things about working in Sand Springs Public Schools include the supportive and collaborative work environment. Sand Springs Public Schools provides opportunities for professional growth and development. As a teacher in SSPS there's a constant sense of fulfillment that comes from making a positive impact on students' lives, as well as a strong sense of community within the school district."
—Coy Caviness, Teacher at Clyde Boyd Middle School
"My favorite thing about working here is my love and passion for every child that walks through the doors. They fill my heart with so much joy!"
—Leeann Foltz, Head Custodian at Early Childhood Education Center
"I’ve taught for SSPS for 20 years and there’s no other place I want to teach or send our child through public school. One of the best perks of working in SSPS is that I have supportive administrators giving me autonomy to teach the standards based on the academic, social, and emotional needs of each individual student. The opportunities this district provides for our students is far reaching and more than prepares graduates for successful careers in all fields. I am honored to be a Sandite!"
—Barbie Jackson, Teacher at Limestone Technology Academy
"Joining the Sandite Team has been a blessing for me and my family. I have the privilege of working with dedicated and caring educators who make it a priority to support their students. However, the most enjoyable part of being on this staff is the everyday interactions with the students in my care. I get to see the students thrive in a positive and nurturing environment. Sand Springs Public Schools does an excellent job of helping students find their passion!"
—J.J. Smith, Principal at Charles Page Freshman Academy
