Last week was filled with Panther pride, school spirit, and memories that will last a lifetime! From the festive hallway decorations and students showing off their Homecoming mums to our Community Homecoming Pep Rally, our Lufkin ISD family came together to celebrate this special tradition in a big way.

We loved seeing our community fill the stands, cheer on our Panthers, and join in the excitement as we crowned our 2026 Homecoming Duke, Graham Wood, and Homecoming Duchess, Keyla Gonzalez! Congratulations to both of them and all of our Homecoming royalty!

This Homecoming was especially meaningful as it marked the last Homecoming at Abe Martin Stadium before our new stadium is built. While we look forward to the exciting future ahead, we will always cherish the memories and traditions made at Abe Martin Stadium over the years. What a special way to celebrate Panther pride and be part of Lufkin history!

Thank you to our students, staff, families, alumni, and community for making Homecoming 2026 one to remember. Once a Panther, always a Panther!
