THANKS FOR 95 YEARS: Dupre Elementary staff joined for a last photo after the school closed in May 2022. The Lubbock ISD Board of Trustees voted to close Dupre Elementary, in Nov. 2021 citing because of the decline of student enrollment, which became a matter of economics and the cost per student. Teachers reflected on all the great students, memories, and friendships. The Dupre Elementary building, constructed in 1927, will remain in Lubbock ISD and most likely function as a child care facility for students and staff. Thank you for your commitment to families.
