Pearland Football 2021

A Word from Our Principal . . .

Oilers…Football is back! The lights are on and it’s time for the Oiler Spirit to shine.
The tradition continues with a new look and new field. We are excited to see The Rig at
capacity with the Oiler Faithful cheering on the Oilers. There is nothing like Friday night
when we all come together to watch the Pride of Pearland Band, Oiler Cheerleaders,
Prancers, and to cheer on the Oiler football team as they compete for victory! Bring
your excitement and spirit to show our opponents why The Rig is a special place to com-
pete.
It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to serve Pearland High School’s communi-
ty, students, and staff where tradition and expectations of academic excellence, athletic
dominance, and exemplary extra-curricular participation continues. This starts with a
dynamic staff that is dedicated to provide a safe and supportive environment that holds a high standard
of excellence. Walking the halls of our campus, you can feel the tradition and great people who have set
the standard of excellence at Pearland High School. When seeking our tradition, look no further than the
names of Sheryl Searcy and G. Preston Bullard proudly displayed on and in our building. Our staff is driven
to continue the traditions and success laid before us!
Pearland High School’s long-standing tradition is known far beyond the Greater Houston Area. This is
only possible because our wonderful community generously supports all our programs. I thank you for
making a positive impact on the experiences of our students and staff. Without you, none of our success is
possible. So let the sun set, turn on the lights, cheer loud, cheer proud, and LIGHT UP THE RIG!

It’s going to be a great year and always remember…Pride Honor Success!

A Word from Our Athletic Director . . .

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year. The new
season certainly brings excitement, anticipation, and expectation. The work contin-
ues in the constant pursuit of excellence. Certainly the best entertainment on a fall
Friday night in the entire state of Texas is under the lights at the stadium.

The pageantry of Friday Night Football is unparalleled, a single event that brings
families together for the thrill of performance, competition, and achievement. Friday
night uniquely connects the community by bridging the gap of past generations.

What is important to remember is that none of this is possible without the commit-
ment, sacrifice, and diligence of many; and so, to all of you who have a hand in promoting and support-
ing Pearland ISD success and excellence I say thank you.

The rich tradition of high school football in TEXAS is alive and well in Pearland. Good luck to all teams.
Thanks again to all for the continued support of Pearland ISD. Enjoy the season. See you at the stadi-
um!!!

Athletic Director
