Inscription.

Terry County's education developed from the rigors of one-room schools in numerous rural communities to the present Brownfield, Meadow, and Wellman-Union school districts. Surrounding communities are committed to the education of our children and to helping them reach their greatest potential.

Educators nurture the love of learning as our students continue to grow in wisdom and as they excel in academics, agriculture, athletics, business, fine arts, science and technology.

Education is the key to our promising future! People from all cultures and backgrounds benefit when we heed the call for knowledge and enlightenment.
