Lexington Gators chomp chomp into their first year

On Sept. 18, we celebrated the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Lexington Middle School campus! The new campus features natural lighting, collaborative learning spaces and modern security and technology.

“Today’s ribbon cutting represents more than just a new building—it represents opportunity, growth, and the bright future of our students,” said Principal Stevie-Rae Garcia. “To our teachers, staff, parents, and of course our students: you are the heart of this school ... and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things that will happen here.”

This campus was made possible by Bond 2022.

If the minimum is not met using the registration links on the schedule, the clinic is subject to cancellation per H-E-B and your campus will be notified. You and your covered dependents are welcome to go to any H-E-B to receive vaccines.
