New Face in the Classroom

The history department gained a new instructor in January and it's been a smooth transition. When veteran teacher Sheila Wilkinson retired in December, the search was on to find a good replacement. 

Mr. Lane Bricker was chosen to fill the vacant position and he appears to be enjoying the challenge. "Everyone has been most helpful since I began in January," Bricker said. 

Bricker graduated from Hooks High School and attended East Texas Baptist University in Marshall, Texas, where he majored in History/Secondary Education. In his spare time, he enjoys playing basketball (coaching in the future) and loves music. 

Why was Bricker excited to join the LE family? "I have family members who graduated here and I consider Texarkana my home town," Bricker said.
