The 2024–2025 Art and Literature Magazine is here, and it’s stunning. Our students poured their creativity into this year’s edition, with support from our English and Art faculty. Under the guidance of Mr. Schmidt, the writing took shape alongside visual art from across campus to create a truly special publication. You can order a copy now for just $5. All proceeds support next year’s magazine, and copies will be distributed when we return in August. Support the voices and talents of our Westerners. This is work worth holding onto. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnCnTQ5ZaeG2UFlT3ZzGJymM49jKYGIJuGeSfiXdQqhq8pLw/viewform

We are thrilled to welcome our new Instructional Coach, Mrs. Alisha Lightbourne! Mrs. Lightbourne will be joining the Westerner family next year and has already been in the halls learning about Where Westerners Achieve More. -- A note from Mrs. Lightbourne: I am beyond excited to officially join the Westerner Family as the new Instructional Coach at Lubbock High School! I bring 8 years of teaching experience—six years at Dunbar and two years at Ervin Elementary—where I taught science in 5th, 6th, and 8th grades. Most recently, I completed a year as a Principal Fellow at Evans Middle School, which deepened my passion for leadership and student success. Lubbock High holds a special place in my heart—I’m a proud Westerner alum, and Mr. Young was actually my Alpha principal! It’s truly an honor to return home and serve in the school that helped shape who I am today. My husband, J. Lightbourne, works with Communities in Schools at Hutch, and we have three amazing kids—one attends Roscoe Wilson, another will be a future student there next year, and one is currently at Ervin Elementary. Outside of work, I love Jesus, spending time with my family, cooking, music, shopping, and traveling. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, and I look forward to working alongside the incredible staff, students, and families of Lubbock High. Let’s go BLACK and GOLD! -- Welcome Mrs. Lightbourne!
