Spring Station Middle School is now the first middle school in Williamson County Schools to earn the Special Olympics Unified Champion School designation.
WCS high schools already participate in the program, according to a district announcement. Spring Station Middle is the first to bring it to younger students.
The school's first unified activity will be a track and field team launching in spring 2027. The sport pairs a Special Olympics athlete with a student partner.
"We are excited to welcome a new group of athletes and to create an environment where everyone can participate, contribute and experience being part of a team," SSMS coach Natalie Miller said in the announcement.
Miller said the school will offer inclusive sports and club activities for students of all abilities.
Spring Station Middle will also receive an official banner to display at the school.
