The LSC shall pursue student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, graduation success, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity.

  • Friona Students Find Their Own Way
    Since 1925 Vol. 92, No. 49 Thursday, December 13, 2018 Ten Pages $1.00 Friona Students Find Their Own Way They had a vision. They knew what they wanted, but did not know exactly how to get there. Friona High School students Kessly Salinas, Adriana Ortiz, and Angel Mills wanted to make a change but they needed some guidance and inspiration. They got both in the form of State Senator Kel Seliger. The FHS trio met Kel at his Town Hall meeting at the Depot back in October and were impressed by his willingness to show them the path they needed to travel to reach their goal. They left the meeting very enthused and immediately went to work to achieve their dream. First, they visited with local residents who would be involved with the change. Second, they worked with City Manager Lee Davila to iron out the logistics of the project and to develop a presentation for the City Council. Phase three was the actual presentation of their vision in front of their own local elected officials. The result? Chieftain Way. On Monday evening, the Friona City Council voted to change the name of 7th Street, between Grand and Etta, to Chieftain Way.
