The Schools Portal

A school (from Greek σχολεῖον - scholeion) is an institution designed to allow and encourage students (or "pupils") to learn, under the supervision of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students often progress through a series of schools: primary school, secondary school, and possibly a university, vocational school or a college. There are also non-governmental schools, called private or independent schools. A school may be dedicated to a particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods. In homeschooling and online schools, teaching and learning take place outside of a traditional school building. The use of the term school varies by country, as do the names of the various levels of education within the country.

Lubbock High School
Lubbock High School (formerly known as Tom S. Lubbock High School and colloquially known as LHS) is a 5A high school serving grades nine to twelve in Lubbock, Texas (USA). Part of the Lubbock Independent School District, the school is known for its academic program and for the fact that it has produced a number of talented musicians and vocalists over the years (including Buddy Holly and The Crickets, Natalie Maines, Ralna English, and Mac Davis).

The school was founded in 1891 and was the first high school in Lubbock County. In the fall of 1929, plans began for the construction of a new building for LHS. Construction began in 1930, and the building was completed in 1931. The school opened in its new location for the fall semester of 1931. Due to its distinctive architecture, the school is included in the National Register of Historic Places. Lubbock High's colors are black and gold and its mascot is the Westerner. The school primarily serves students from the central and eastern parts of Lubbock, but the school's LEAP program serves students from all over the city.
