The Lubbock High School Westerner Band was recognized by the Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees AND the Lubbock City Council for advancing to the 2024 Texas UIL State Marching Band Championships in November 2024. The Westerner Band earned their second consecutive trip to state after finishing as one of only four bands to advance from the UIL 5A Area Marching Band Contest in Midland in October. Lubbock High School has the only Lubbock ISD marching band in district history to compete at the state championships, and this is their third trip after qualifying to compete at state in 2017. The Westerner Band is under the direction of Dallas Bayless, Joseph Galvin, and Tres Perkins. The Westerner drum majors are Naomi LaFiette, Jaycee Neill, and Toby Tiner.

Lubbock High Girls finish 1st and the Lubbock High boys finish 2nd place at the Lubbock Invitational!

Recently, our incredible students raised and donated $1,000 to the South Plains Food Bank U Can Share Drive! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful cause. Your generosity helps make a real difference in our community.

We are exceptionally proud of our Academic Decathlon Team, who embarked on the 2024-25 Deca journey back in April/May of 2024. This incredible crew of scholars have truly shown up this year, and the individual and team accomplishments are proof of their brilliance, talent, and fortitude. 11/10 would do it all over again. The team is coached by Thomas Reynolds, Nicholas Reeves, and Erin Castle.

Want to send holiday cheer to your BFF, Bae, Boo, classmate or your favorite teacher, counselor, administrator or office staff? Send them a Holiday gram. Your LHS FCCLA will be in the dining hall to place your orders soon. Last day to order is Tuesday, December 17. FCCLA members will be delivering on Dec 18 & Dec 19.

The transfer window for the 2025-2026 school year, originally scheduled to open on Monday, December 9, will now open on Tuesday, December 17, at 8:30 a.m.

This adjustment allows the Board of Trustees to gather and thoughtfully consider feedback from Hodges Elementary School families, whose campus will close at the end of this school year. These families have been invited to provide input on the consolidation options for their students, and the Board will finalize Hodges’ attendance boundaries during their meeting on Thursday, December 12.

The transfer application system requires all attendance boundaries for the 2025-2026 school year to be finalized before the process can begin. Once boundaries are finalized, the transfer window will open as planned on December 17 and remain open until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, January 17.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition with care and ensure a process that values community input. If you have any questions, please contact transfer.request@LubbockISD.org for assistance.
