Welcome to Lubbock High School!

About L.H.S. & Our Community

Lubbock High School's (est. 1891) original announcement for our opening was "Schooling for all who could reach it by pony, wagon, buggy or on foot" - a promise that rings true still today: we are a co-educational, public, academic, magnet high school serving grades 9-12. Our school enjoys a diverse student body with regard to race, ethnicity, and socio-economic background. We are Lubbock's original high school and traditionally has served the majority of lower socio-economic families within our urban neighborhood. Since 1979, however, when L.H.S. was designated the first magnet school in the Lubbock area, we have also served families from the entire community, ranging from low socio-economic to affluent.

Our school is located in the academic corridor of central Lubbock just a few blocks from Texas Tech University in the center of a strong agricultural area. Our city is a regional hub (hence our nickname: "the Hub City") with four major hospitals, a medical school, a law school, a thriving arts district, and a home for local and commercial businesses and manufacturers.

Through the National Honors Society for HS Students and IB's Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS), students also embark on various service activities, like volunteering at one of our many animal shelters, the Lubbock Food Bank, the Women's Shelter, Boys and Girls' Club, and more. Original service projects, such as hosting a free summer theatre camp for students from neighboring middle schools, organizing a Climate Change Rally, or creating care packages for our city's at-risk populations are highly encouraged and supported.
