Congratulations to Longview High senior Luke Farr for being selected as The Longview Voice Scholarship winner for 2023!
Luke is the son of Chris and Alicia Farr of Longview. In addition to being the president of the Future Health Professionals Organization, Luke participates in the Fine Arts program, National Honor Society, and is the president of the Interact Club.
Selected for his contributions to the Voice as well as his superlative level of achievement both inside and outside the classroom, Luke will receive a scholarship to college, and is one of the hundreds of LHS seniors earning scholarships in the Class of 2023.
'This Lobo senior wrote an excellent article about his opportunity to attend the Joint Admission Medical Program Pre-Med Camp at Stephen F. Austin State University. He is certainly excited to take on the next stage of his life,' said Mr. Dustin Taylor, Communications Specialist and managing editor of The Longview Voice. 'Now in our eighth year of this program, the district has given almost $20,000 in scholarships to Lobo graduates.'
The Longview Voice is a district-wide newspaper that covers student, staff, and local community news. The paper is produced by the LISD Community Relations department in partnership with Texarkana-based American Classifieds (formerly the Thrifty Nickel), as well as campus staff and volunteers.
“We encourage all our students to contribute articles and photography to The Longview Voice,” said Superintendent Dr. James Wilcox. “That’s why it’s called ‘the Voice,’ because it is a voice for our entire Longview ISD community. We want our students to feel a sense of ownership toward this newspaper.”
Each year the Community Relations department selects a Longview High School senior student who contributes work to The Longview Voice for a scholarship to the school of their choice.
Past Winners include Estrella Gonzales, Keyarro Hollins, Uwa Ihionkhan, Yosef Ibitayo (Class of 2016); Gaylon Wiley (Class of 2017); German Zelaya, Jose Velazquez, Michael Vera (Class of 2018), Alyssa Shobert, Brady Miller, and Payton Schaap (Class of 2019), Jesse Gonzalez and Emily Mendenhall (Class of 2020), Audrey Smith (Class of 2021), Joshua Sanders and Adriana Corona (Class of 2022), and now Luke Farr in the Class of 2023!
