Killough Lewisville High School North, often referred to as LHSN or LHS-North, is a high school in the Lewisville Independent School District in Lewisville, Texas. While the school has existed since the fall of 1997, the school district began construction of its current building in 2003. Prior to its current location, LHS-North operated at what was formerly Miliken Middle School on Savage Lane.
The current campus opened in the fall of 2005. At that time, the school was dedicated to retired LISD employee C. Douglas Killough (former principal at Lewisville High School and later assistant superintendent), and the name was formally changed to Killough Lewisville High School North. Killough LHS-North has been named to the "Just for the Kids" Honor Roll in 2005, 2006 and 2007, for its exceptional performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, or TAKS test. Killough LHS-North was featured in the December 2006 and December 2007 issue of Texas Monthly Magazine. In 2006 it was ranked as the #1 public high school in the state, for being a high performing school based on the National Center for Educational Accountability (formerly known as "Just for the Kids"). (The 2007 issue did not rank the top performing schools individually.)
Lewisville ISD is currently planning to convert the campus into a ninth- and tenth-grade school. The plan also includes the creation of another ninth- and tenth-grade high school to be constructed in south Lewisville. Collectively the two campuses would house over 2000 students, easing congestion at Lewisville High School.
Famous quotes containing the words high, school and/or north:
“Someday soon, we hope that all middle and high school will have required courses in child rearing for girls and boys to help prepare them for one of the most important and rewarding tasks of their adulthood: being a parent. Most of us become parents in our lifetime and it is not acceptable for young people to be steeped in ignorance or questionable folklore when they begin their critical journey as mothers and fathers.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The North has no interest in the particular Negro, but talks of justice for the whole. The South has not interest, and pretends none, in the mass of Negroes but is very much concerned about the individual.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
