Members of our Longview ISD administrative team spent the day visiting campuses, welcoming students and staff, and seeing the excitement of a new school year firsthand.
From smiling faces in the hallways to teachers already building connections in the classroom, it was a great reminder of what makes Longview ISD special.
Here’s to an incredible year, Lobos! 🐺
If you found yourself asking, “Where can I get that shirt?” We have good news. 🐺💚🌲 We listened.

It's official! Trent Williams Multipurpose Indoor Facility was approved at tonight's board meeting!

Representing him tonight at the meeting, his parents heard the applause from the public as the motion was passed by the school board.
Since graduating from LHS in 2006, he has built one of the most decorated careers of any offensive lineman in professional football, earning multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors and becoming widely regarded as one of the greatest offensive tackles in NFL history. He has even given back to Longview in the form of the free Silverback Football Camp that he started at LHS back in 2013.

Concrete poured. Momentum building. The LHS cafeteria expansion is getting real. 🏗️🐺 On Monday, crews poured concrete for the Longview High School cafeteria expansion, marking an exciting step forward in one of the most used spaces on campus.
This bond-funded project will give Lobos more room, better flow, and a refreshed cafeteria experience built for today’s students and tomorrow’s growth. It is one more visible sign that the 2024 bond is moving from plans on paper to real improvements across Longview ISD.
Big things are taking shape at Longview High, and we can’t wait for our students, staff, and families to see the finished space. Thank you, Longview voters. This progress is #BuiltByTheBond.
Crews have mobilized to the construction site and begun the initial phases of work on the new facility, which will provide Longview High School students with expanded space for athletic training, physical education, extracurricular activities, and special events. The project is part of the district's broader effort to modernize campus facilities and create spaces that support student success both inside and outside the classroom.
District leaders say the multipurpose building is designed to address current and future needs by providing a versatile space that can accommodate a variety of programs and activities throughout the year. The new building will feature flexible indoor space designed to support athletic development, strength and conditioning programs, student activities, and campus events. By creating additional dedicated space for these programs, the facility will help alleviate scheduling demands on existing campus facilities while expanding opportunities for student participation.
The project represents months of planning and collaboration among district administrators, architects, engineers, and construction professionals. Throughout the design process, the district focused on creating a facility that would serve multiple purposes while complementing ongoing improvements taking place across the Longview High School campus.
Construction of the multipurpose facility is one of several bond-funded projects currently underway, joining renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and new construction initiatives designed to enhance educational and extracurricular opportunities for students. District officials have emphasized that these projects reflect the community's commitment to investing in the future of Longview ISD.
As construction progresses, students and staff can expect to see continued activity at the project site, including foundation work, structural steel installation, and exterior construction in the coming months. The district will continue providing updates as major milestones are reached.
The new facility is expected to serve generations of students and reinforce Longview ISD's commitment to providing exceptional opportunities both in academics and extracurricular programs. #BuiltByTheBond
