Sweetwater High School is a public high school located in Sweetwater, Texas, USA and classified as a 4A school by the UIL. It is a part of the Sweetwater Independent School District located in north central Nolan County. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[2] The first high school in Sweetwater, Texas opened in 1912, and was called, "Sweetwater High School." It stood on the southwest corner of the campus. In 1927, a new high school building, called "Newman High School", opened. The school building stood on the southeast side of the campus, adjacent to the Sweetwater High School structure built in 1912. Also in 1927, the high school's mascot changed from the Salty Pups to the Sweetwater Mustangs. In 1967, a new high school building called, "Sweetwater High School" was completed right behind Newman High School. Soon after the new Sweetwater High School opened, the Newman High School building was razed.
Newman/Sweetwater High School is one of only a handful of high schools in the country with two alumni in the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Sammy Baugh and Clyde "Bulldog" Turner.[3]
