My mom and dad planted that seed very early.
They knew that education was the primary foundation
for everything they wanted their kids to achieve.
right..and that's what got us here.
Back then Lewisville was so small.
you know I mean they moved here in 1977..right...Main
Street was one lane / two lane, the high school
..Lewisville High School was just a grass
field.
I remember driving past Lewisville High School
in my dads truck, and he would look at those
Friday Nights lights and he would say, someday
you are going to play under those Friday Night
Lights. you are going to be a Fighting Farmer.
Its that Farmer pride, we are among the best
of the best, right.. and we are going to stay
there, because this is Lewisville ISD.
What we were able to accomplish as a family
all started right here in Lewisville.
You know we grew up in Lewisville right down
the street.
K-12, I was a Lewisville ISD kid.
From Hedrick Elementary, Kindergarten thru
2nd grade.
The district re-drew the lines.
I went to Lakeland Elementary third and fourth
grades, then we moved over south of Valley
Parkway where Hebron High school is now, and
then i went back to Hedrick for fifth grade.
Hedrick Middle School ...and I'm a proud Fighting
Farmer.
I am where I am because the good Lord blessed
us, my family loved on us, and I had really
good teachers in Lewisville ISD..My name is
Kris Gutierrez..I'm a news anchor at NBC 5
here in Dallas/ Fort worth, but I'm also a
Lewisville high school graduate, class of
1995.
