Silverton Independent School District
School History
By 1937, most of the rural schools in this part of the country had transferred their high school students into Silverton High School. The school had a fairly new building that had been constructed in 1929, and the enrollment soared. A.L. (Bud) Kelsey was Superintendent and W.E. Sherman was High School Principal. Superintendents of the District between 1939 and 1950 included Paul S. Rogers, F.M. McCarthy, and M.F. Talley.M.G. Moreland became Superintendent in 1950 and served until his retirement in 1960. J.S. Hinds was Superintendent from 1960 to 1970. O.C. Rampley became Superintendent in 1970. David Cavitt became Superintendent in 1987 after Mr. Rampley’s retirement. Cavitt filled the position until 1992, when Frank Kirchoffner was hired. Mr. Kirchoffner was Superintendent until 2002, and Bill Mayfield was hired as Interim Superintendent until our current Superintendent Jerry Birdsong was hired in the Fall of 2004.
