Miss Minnie Tubbs opened the first Lubbock School in 1891. The school was located on the southwest corner of the block just east of what is now the city square. Then in 1892 P.F. Brown founded the second school in Lubbock. In 1898 the new school had a second room added making it a two room school. After a fire in 1909 and the first building was destroyed, a new school was built just south of the Burrus Elevator. Later that year, bonds worth $25,000 were issued to build a brick building with two stories and a basement where present-day city hall offices are located. The current edifice was begun in 1930, and completed in time the fall semester of 1931.      In 1970 there was talk of closing Lubbock High as a result of low enrollment due to new school boundaries. To solve the problem of low enrollment LEAP (Lubbock Exemplary Academic Program) was developed; then in 1983 the FRIDAY enrichment schedule (of which this home page is a product). 1982 was the 50th Anniversary at Lubbock High's current location (2004 19th St. Lubbock, Texas). During the first fifty years, the science and homemaking wing, East wing, and library among many others have been added. In 1991, at a cost of 3.9 million dollars, Lubbock High School was updated with central air conditioning and heating.      Lubbock High School remains a national leader in education. On February 8, 1996, Mrs. Mediano announced over the loud speaker to students that she was on the phone with the people from the Blue Ribbon committee and Lubbock High was chosen as one of few schools nationally for the Blue Ribbon School Award.
