Thank You to Our Westerner Community!
Last week's Recognition Ceremony was a wonderful celebration of the amazing students we are fortunate to have at Lubbock High. We are so grateful to everyone who came out to support this special occasion, where we had the joy of honoring the contributions of some standout Westerners. Our school is filled with remarkable talent, and while we spotlighted a few last night, every student here plays a vital role in our community. Thank you for continuing to support and celebrate all of our students' achievements!

How it Works
- Please become familiar with the bell schedule
- There is a 5 minute passing period
- Students in the hall after the tardy bell will be expected to obtain a tardy pass and may be escorted to class by a hall Monitor if necessary
- Tardy passes may be obtained at the Safeguard Kiosk located on each floor of the building
- the accumulation of excess tardies will result in after school detention.
