“I’m thrilled that our community sees the need for a new middle school, multi-purpose facility and athletic fields at the high school,” Lufkin ISD Superintendent Dr. LaTonya Goffney said. “It was a team effort to get out factual information so that our community members could make an informed decision. Now, not only will our middle-school students continue to excel in the classroom academically, but they will have a safe, future-ready learning environment. Thank you, Lufkin, for supporting the school district and the vision to ensure that Lufkin remains the best choice for education.”
