Competing against the nation's best, these students demonstrated exceptional leadership, teamwork, and dedication to achieve this outstanding honor.

Sunshine, snow cones, and a whole lot of fun! 🎉🎊😄 Camp Sunshine Field Day brought together laughter, excitement, and unforgettable summer memories. These moments capture an afternoon filled with activities, time with friends, and all the fun that makes summer special.
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
Between games, laughter, learning with certified teachers, and one-on-one moments with counselors, campers are building confidence all summer long.
And yes—there's still time to join the fun.
☀️ Spots remain for the rest of the summer. https://thementoringalliance.com/summer-camps/
Summer fun is in full swing thanks to the partnership between Longview ISD and Mentoring Alliance! Students have been enjoying an action-packed summer so far, filled with games, academic enrichment, and opportunities to build new friendships in a positive and encouraging environment. 🎈🏸
From exciting activities to hands-on learning experiences, every day has been packed with smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We are grateful for Mentoring Alliance and their commitment to helping students stay engaged, active, and connected throughout the summer. Thank you to the camp staff, families, and students for making this summer such a success! ☀️🎉
A lot happened today, and at Foster Middle School, they finished today with some fun water-slide activities! 🔫🌊

After months of planning, design work, and permitting, crews begun construction on the future facility adjacent to Longview High School in October of 2025. The project represents one of the district's largest investments in career readiness and workforce development, providing students with expanded opportunities for hands-on learning in a variety of career pathways.
The new 95,000-square-foot facility is designed to serve students pursuing careers in health sciences, engineering, law enforcement, cosmetology, technology, diesel mechanics, robotics, and other high-demand industries. The center will feature specialized labs, modern classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and industry-focused training environments that mirror real-world workplaces.
District leaders have described the project as a transformational investment that will help students graduate with the skills, certifications, and experiences needed to succeed in college, technical training programs, military service, or the workforce.
At the heart of the facility's design is a central atrium and courtyard intended to serve as a hub for collaboration and innovation. The building's layout was developed through extensive planning between district administrators, educators, architects, and project management teams to ensure the facility meets both current and future workforce needs.
The construction start followed the completion and approval of final design documents and a groundbreaking ceremony held earlier this school year. Community members, district leaders, students, and local officials gathered to celebrate the beginning of a project that will expand educational opportunities for generations of Longview students.
As work progresses, students and staff can expect to see significant activity on the construction site, including foundation work, utility installation, and structural development. The project is funded through the voter-approved 2024 bond package and is expected to become a centerpiece of Longview High School's growing Career & Technical Education program.
Superintendent Dr. Marla Sheppard has emphasized that the new facility reflects the district's vision of ensuring every student has access to meaningful career pathways and hands-on learning experiences. Once completed, the center will provide state-of-the-art learning environments that connect classroom instruction with real-world career opportunities.
The Career & Technical Education Center is anticipated to open in 2027 and will stand as a lasting investment in Longview ISD's mission of preparing students for success beyond graduation. #BuiltByTheBond
Today, we formally launched the Longview ISD Police Department during a packed swearing-in ceremony for Chief Benjamin Kemper, the district’s first Chief of Police. ✅
Chief Kemper, a 1993 Longview High School graduate, stood surrounded by family, district leaders, Board of Trustees members, local first responders, former colleagues, and community partners as he took the oath of office. One of the most meaningful moments came as his wife pinned his badge, marking the beginning of a new chapter in service to the district he once called home as a student.
The Longview ISD Police Department will serve students, staff, families, and campuses with a focus on visibility, professionalism, relationships, and trust.
Its mission is simple and powerful: provide a safe learning environment while developing meaningful relationships that positively impact young people’s lives for years to come.
Congratulations to Chief Kemper, and thank you to everyone who came out to support. 👏
Protecting the Pack starts now. We’re also hiring police officers! Learn more at longviewisd.com/police
The Class of 2026 has officially left its mark on the future Career and Technical Education Center. 🏗️💚
Just weeks after seniors signed a steel beam during a special ceremony, that beam was installed last Friday inside the new Career & Technical Education Center.
Earlier this spring, students filled the beam with handwritten messages, names, and memories, creating a piece of Longview High School history that will now live permanently inside the new building.
As construction continues, the signed beam serves as a powerful reminder of the pride, perseverance, and legacy of the Class of 2026.
Once a Lobo, always a Lobo. #BuiltByTheBond
