Testimonials
Snyder ISD encompasses students from pre-K all the way through twelfth grade. The most exciting thing in Snyder High School right now is the opportunity for students to earn industry-based certifications while they're earning their high school diploma. We're very fortunate that we have such a supportive community that's willing to let our students come out and work with them.

Testimonials
WL Plastics is a producer of high-density polyethelene plastic pipe which goes into the oil and gas market. Snyder is a very easy place to do business. I've lived in three other states, and Texas is by far the easiest place to do business. The Development Corporation of Snyder has been with us since 2012. They're the main reason we're here. They helped us get started.
