Lewisville High School is a public high school in Lewisville, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The oldest of five high schools in the Lewisville Independent School District, it was opened in 1897, making it the only school in the district to have celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The school's colors are maroon and white and its mascot is "Big John", the Fighting Farmer (a reference to Lewisville's early days as a rural community).
The Lewisville High school homecoming parade is an annual occurrence that usually happens in mid-October. It generally happens on a Thursday. A majority of the town of Lewisville shows up at the homecoming parade to see all of the floats. Some of the feeder schools of LHS have floats at the parade. Members of associations involved with the schools, such as NJHS, Avid, and other groups throw candy out to the people watching the parade.
Lewisville High School was originally located on Purnell Street in downtown Lewisville. LHS moved to its current location at Main Street and Valley Parkway in 1968. At that time, the school was located in farmland at the edge of Lewisville. LHS had several additions since then due to the city of Lewisville's large growth. In the 2012-2013 school year, Lewisville High School officially opened its new building immediately adjacent to the old building originally built in 1968 yet still on the same campus. The following school year, a new auditorium opened. The old building's demolition started the exactly the last day of the 2011-2012 school year. The old campus was cleared for the use of additional parking.
Lewisville High School currently consists of three different campuses. Killough Lewisville High School North, "North Campus" and Harmon Lewisville High School South serve ninth and tenth graders. The LHS "Main Campus" primarily serves eleventh and twelfth graders. For extracurricular activities students are shuttled from the Killough and Harmon campuses to the Main campus. Together, their 2014 enrollment was 3,980 students, making LHS the largest high school in the district.
Lewisville High School has several feeder schools.
Aside from standard Math, English, Science, and Social Studies classes, LHS offers many Advanced Placement courses. Many electives are offered, including, but not limited to, Foreign Languages, Band, Choir, Athletics, Art, Orchestra, NJROTC, Debate, Theatre Arts, and Academic Decathlon. Technology and career elective classes are offered at the Dale Jackson Career Center and Career Center East.
