LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - (News release from Lubbock ISD) Lubbock Independent School District (Lubbock ISD) is seeking community feedback on naming the district’s three new elementary schools being built as part of the 2025 bond.

Why this matters in The Lubbock

The naming of the three new elementary schools is a significant decision for Lubbock ISD, and the district's effort to gather community input is a crucial step in the process. As the schools will serve students from the surrounding neighborhoods, including those from the Bean, McWhorter, Wolffarth, Stewart, and Williams elementary school communities, it's essential that the names reflect the local character and history. The town hall meeting at the Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center provides an opportunity for community members to share their thoughts and recommendations, and the availability of Spanish translation and Chromebooks will help ensure that all voices are heard. The naming decision will not only impact the students and families who attend the schools but also the broader community, as the schools will become integral parts of the local landscape. By encouraging community involvement, Lubbock ISD can ensure that the names chosen for the new elementary schools are meaningful and reflective of the city's values and identity.
