Dear Farmer Family –
I want to take this opportunity to officially welcome you to Lewisville High School Killough! High school is such an exciting time and I look forward to working together to make your child’s 9th and 10th grade year the very best it can be. Welcome back to our 10th grade parents and welcome aboard to our new parents and 9th graders. You are joining a tight knit community filled with Farmer Pride and support for you and your child.
If you would, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the wonderful LHS Killough web page at Here you will find a wealth of information related to our school: the opening of the new school year, school supplies, block lunch, football spirit days, Farmer sports’ schedules, and many other types of information about upcoming events at LHS Killough. Our website is updated regularly and is the quickest way for students and parents to find information about upcoming events at LHS Killough.
Please “friend” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter (@LHSKillough) so that you can stay connected to what’s going on at LHS Killough. In addition, please be sure to update your contact information for emails and phone calls home through “Skyward Family Access.” This allows you to receive information from the school messenger phone system. I communicate weekly with parents, via email and phone calls, to keep you up to date and involved in the great things going on at LHS Killough.
