Premont ISD Announces December Winterfest and Holiday Basketball Tournament
Premont ISD has posted its December events calendar with a community Winterfest at Premont Collegiate High School on December 18 and a varsity boys basketball holiday tournament on December 29 and 30. These events shape family schedules, support student activities, and carry public health and equity implications for residents across Jim Wells County.
Premont Independent School District is inviting families and neighbors to a series of December events, including Winterfest at Premont Collegiate High School on December 18 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and the Premont varsity boys basketball holiday tournament on December 29 and December 30. The district calendar lists additional regular season basketball games, junior high matchups, and seasonal club meetings through the month. The district homepage and calendar serve as the official public schedule for parents and local supporters.
These gatherings are important to the social and cultural life of Premont. School performances and family activities at Winterfest offer students a platform to showcase work and for families to reconnect with campus life before the holiday break. The holiday tournament brings visiting teams to town which can support local businesses and create shared community moments. For families balancing work, childcare, or transportation, knowing dates and times in advance can make attendance possible.
Public health considerations are especially relevant in December when respiratory illnesses commonly rise. Large indoor and outdoor gatherings increase the chances of transmission of seasonal viruses. Families should monitor their own health and follow guidance from health providers when deciding whether to attend, and Premont ISD may post updates about any safety measures or changes on its calendar and homepage. Planning by organizers and families alike can help reduce risk while preserving access to activities that matter to students.
Equity and access are central to the community value of these events. Timing and location affect who is able to participate. Working parents, households without reliable transportation, and families with caregiving responsibilities may face barriers to attendance. Schools and community leaders can help by coordinating clear communication, accessible scheduling, and supports that reduce cost and travel burdens so that events serve the entire community.
Residents should consult the Premont ISD calendar on the district homepage for the official schedule and for any updates to times or campus guidance. These December events reflect both the strengths and the practical challenges of sustaining school centered community life in Jim Wells County during the winter season.
