Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the month of March comes to a close, we are quickly approaching the beginning of our Spring testing season. These assessments are a vital opportunity for our students to demonstrate the hard work and growth they have achieved throughout the school year.
Please be mindful that passing these End-of-Course (EOC) assessments is a graduation requirement for all students. Ensuring your student is prepared and present for these exams is a crucial step toward their successful completion of high school.
Our first set of assessments will be:
English I: Tuesday, April 7th
English II: Wednesday, April 8th
To ensure your student is prepared to do their very best, we ask for your support with the following:
Attendance: It is critical that students are at school on time.
Full Testing Sessions: We kindly ask that you avoid early check-outs on these days, as students need the full allotted time to complete their exams without interruption.
Preparation: Please ensure your student gets a good night’s rest and has a healthy breakfast on the morning of their test.
For information regarding the remaining EOC dates throughout the month of April, please review the attached flyer.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can email npegues@lisd.org or contact the school at (903) 663-7100.
Thank you for your continued partnership in your student’s success!

This week, we proudly celebrate our incredible school counselors and the impact they make every single day at Longview High School. Our counselors do far more than manage schedules—they advocate for students, support academic success, guide social-emotional growth, and help students navigate life’s challenges with care and compassion. They are trusted listeners, problem-solvers, and true champions for our students and families.
We encourage staff, students and parents to take a moment this week to write a note of appreciation to our counselors to thank them for all they do to support our LHS community. A kind word or simple thank-you goes a long way and means more than you know.
Our counselors serve our students in the following ways:
• Ms. Lovely – Students with last names A–E
• Ms. Simmons – Students with last names F–Le
• Ms. Spencer – Students with last names Li–Roc
• Ms. Cameron – Students with last names Rod–Z
• Ms. Beall – Dual Credit
• Ms. Coker – IS/DP
• Ms. Krueger – CTE/IBC Certifications
• Ms. A. Lee – Senior Class
Thank you to our amazing counseling team for your dedication, care, and commitment to helping every Lobo succeed. 💚
