š Some truths do not stay in a season. They follow you from the locker room, to the bleachers, to the district office. This data says a lot:
š¢ Student-athletes averaged a 3.61 GPA, compared with 3.03 for non-athletes.
š” That is a 0.58 GPA difference!
š¢ Student-athletes missed 4 fewer days of school per year.
š” They had 18% fewer absences overall.
š And the deeper point may be even more important: when coaches pair accountability with belief, the impact gets stronger. Students show up more consistently, perform better academically, and grow in ways that reach far beyond the scoreboard.
šŗ At
@LongviewISD, we are blessed with remarkable coaches in EVERY sport. They are teachers, mentors, leaders, standard-setters, and steady voices in the lives of our young people.
ā
Athletics matters.
ā
Academics matters.
ā
Character matters.
The best coaches understand all three. As a Lobo parent and administrator, I am so proud of the work being done across Lobo Athletics.
