LCISD School Board Names the Second Middle School:
At their regular meeting on November 19, the LCISD Board of Trustees voted to name the district’s second middle school after former First Lady of Texas and the
and Austin school districts.
2. During her tenure as First Lady of Texas, Mrs. Bush implemented many initiatives focused on health, education and
literacy. As First Lady of the United States, Mrs. Bush continued her advocacy of literacy and education on a
national, as well as, international scale.
3. Mrs. Bush is a native Texan, having been born and raised in Midland.
When contacted about this naming, Mrs. Bush expressed that she was most honored by this action, and that if their schedules allowed, both she and President Bush would very much like to attend the ribbon cutting/grand opening ceremony when LCISD Laura Welch Bush Middle School opens in August 2011.
This would not be the first time that President and Mrs. Bush have visited Lubbock-Cooper ISD, as they paid a visit to
Lubbock-Cooper’s current middle school will continue to be named
