Congratulations to the second graders who won the MLK poster contest. The winners were announced at the MLK celebration on Monday at Dunbar Primary.

Over 72,900 students initially entered the All-State competitive process, and 1,780 students are selected to perform in 15 All-State ensembles (bands, orchestras, and choirs). Among those selected were three students from Lufkin High School.

In appreciation of Texas’ dedicated school board members, January 2019 is School Board Recognition Month.

Mr. Tommy Smith’s life has come full circle. From being the band student turned director who made his teachers proud, to now being the band director who is proud of his students.

Soul to Soul was an evening of academic celebrations, informative sessions, food and entertainment. Thanks to the Soul to Soul committee for putting on an amazing event.

“Missy is always positive and has a contagious smile. Her heart for students is amazing,” said Jan Fulbright, director of nursing.

Betty Williams became an employee of Lufkin ISD because she wanted to be a good mom, and now she helps thousands of children each year as the administrative assistant at Lufkin Middle School.

The state accounting team was recognized with a flag on LHS Main Street hallway. The flag is now hanging among the other state recognition flags. Currently, it is the only banner for academic accomplishment but hopefully not for long.
