INSIDE EDUCATION
It was Lantana’s 20th birthday back in July and we wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday to the place we call home! The first residents moved into our community in July 2001 and at the time FM 407 was a two-lane road with a four-way stop at the old Bartonville Store gas station. Now, Lantana is nearly built out with a population around 13,200 and only a handful of homesites left to be built on.

GUYER SENIOR SPENDS WEEK AS SENATOR Guyer High School senior Jonathan Akinniyi was chosen for the American Legion’s Boys National camp where he was able to spend a week in Washington D.C. as a senator in a mock national government. Akinniyi was one of about 100 participants who were able to go to Marymount University and take part in this national government instruction. This experience affirmed Akinniyi’s passion for politics and he would like to pursue politics in the future. photo courtesy of Denton Record-Chronicle
LIBERTY CHRISTIAN’S PRESIDENTIAL SIGNATURE Students, teachers, and parents gathered around for the unveiling of Liberty Christian’s new Presidental Signature display. This display houses two framed prints of authenticated signatures from every U.S. president. The signatures for new presidents are procured once at least half a term has been served. Liberty Christian thanks the generous Warrior family who donated this incredible piece of history to them. photo courtesy of Liberty Christian School Facebook page
