However, in a few instances, middle schoolers were caught with firearms. Police went to JD Smith Middle School located in North Las Vegas on Mar. 24 after an alarm was activated. According to an arrest report, administrators found a gun on a student after searching him based on a suspicion. He was already on probation. CCSDPD said officers only found one round in the magazine; four other rounds were reported missing. On Mar. 7, officers were dispatched to Cimarron High School. Administrators had located a pink gun that was hidden in a student's backpack. According to police, the gun had one round in the chamber and three in the magazine. The student told police he was 'door checking vehicles in the nearby apartments last week and he came across an unlocked vehicle in which he found and searched a purse that was inside the vehicle. He located and took the gun and decided to bring it to school today,' according to an arrest report. 8 News Now also obtained a video from CCSD showing a teenager at Spring Valley High School running around campus late last year. The student had a gun with several rounds in his backpack, and the gun did not have a serial number, according to an arrest report. School police were tipped off on March 27 to a student at Legacy High School posting photos on Instagram holding a gun and a liquor bottle. Police said when officers searched him, he didn't have the gun. He told officers it was his mother's gun that she kept in a safe. He '…then spontaneously uttered that it was easy to break the lock of the box…stated that he did it with a flathead screwdriver and that all he needed to do was push down on the lock and it popped and broke open,' according to an arrest report. The district's records showed Legacy High School was connected to eight gun confiscations in the 2024-2025 school year. Several of the students arrested at Legacy had gang affiliations.

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 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.
