New Deal HS Track Meet
Sundown HS Student Morgan Griffith Shares Her Story
In the Spring 2024 Lubbock Senior Link Magazine, Honoring Seniors Edition, Sundown HS Senior Morgan Griffith had the opportunity to honor one of her teachers at SHS! It is no surprise that she chose to honor her English Teacher, Mrs. Johnnie Jones! This is a great article that brings to light the value that our educators at SHS bring to our students. This is one of many stories that can be told, and Morgan Griffith has captured the sentiment of so many! A huge thanks to Morgan for bringing to light all the great characteristics that embody Mrs. Jones, and also to Mrs. Jones for serving as a mentor, coach and leader to Morgan and so many of our students at SHS!
