The school has a unique relationship with the nearby Hudson Independent School District.
Apple Springs was the first public school in Deep East Texas to play the wide-open sport of Six-Man football. The district is too small to field a marching band. A neighboring school, Hudson ISD is the largest district in the state without a football team. Hudson does have an award winning band program. So, the Hudson band participates at Apple Springs games. The unusual relationship was filmed by the crew of the popular Texas Country Reporter. The television show aired on November 16, 2008. The football program at Apple Springs has enjoyed much success since its inception in 2004. Another unique aspect is that the Eagles Head Coach is the school superintendent, Cody Moree.
