History

The Lumberton Independent School District was created in 1967 based on the old Chance-Loeb school district that had previously been the school for children in the area. The original high school is now currently home of the Lumberton Middle School, located on US Highway 96. The new high school, which opened in the fall of 1979, is located on the expanding Highway 69 on the west side of Lumberton. Located in the front of the school is a tree planted in memoriam of five students who died in a car crash in May 1998.
