Midland ISD asks for community input for two new middle school names
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)—MISD is asking for the community's input on the naming of the current Legacy High School and the current Midland Freshman High School, which will be converted to middle schools as a result of the 2023 school bond. The naming of the two campuses is part of the grade reconfiguration that will take place with the opening of the new 9-12 high school campuses.
In 2028, Legacy High School and Midland High School will serve grades 9-12 in their new facilities. The existing Legacy High School and Midland Freshman buildings will be converted to 6th-8th grade middle schools. The district would like the community's input on the names of these converted middle schools.
The school name will be based on community, parent, student and staff nominations through the Naming 2028-29 Middle School (LHS Existing Building) Community Survey and the Naming 2028-29 Middle School (MFHS Existing Building) Community Survey. The survey will remain open for nominations until April 28, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. A link to the surveys will also be housed on midlandbond2023.com, shared by social media and in newsletters to all employees and parents. After the survey period has closed, the Naming Committee will review all submissions and make a recommendation to the school board for approval in May.
The name must meet one of the following criteria: In memory of a person who has served the district or community, especially in service to children.
In memory of any person who has made a significant contribution to society and/or education, his or her name shall lend prestige and status to an institution of learning.
A local residential or geographic area; or
A District property donor or his or her family members. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The Odessa Police Department hosts the Odessa Police Athletic League yearly to offer kids in the Permian Basin a safe and active summer program. For $100 parents can register their children for a four-week program were children are provided with lunch and a variety of activities. This year children in the program had the opportunity to attend a movie at Cinergy, visit Urban Air, and play a variety of sports such as kickball and volleyball. This program has been around for three decades, and it has transformed the lives of several children and police officers. 'I've probably worked with over 10,000 children in this community over those 30 years, and honestly its the reason why I'm still in police work,' said Jon Foust, a sergeant with OPD. The program also takes volunteers from the community, and teenagers can register as one. For more information visit Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
