 The district serves the cities of Sadler and Southmayd as well as rural areas in west central Grayson County, and was formed by consolidation of prior districts in 1961.Though Sadler is the larger of the two towns, the first alphabetically, and the location of the administration building, the "S&S" does not necessarily mean "Sadler and Southmayd" – the district does not state which S stands for which community.In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
