The Texas Historical Marker for the former site of Longview High School was dedicated on October 6, 1993. It was sponsored by The Texas Historical Commission, The Gregg County Historical Commission, and The Longview Independent School District. 

Marker Text:  The first public school offering high school classes in Longview was built in 1880. A larger school building was erected in 1884 to accommodate an expanded student enrollment. The Longview Senior High School complex, constructed at this location in 1929, was converted to a middle school in 1932 after an area-wide oil boom contributed to a doubling of the student enrollment and the decision to construct a new high school on East Whaley Street. Successful bond elections in 1972 and 1986 led to the construction of the Longview High School complex at Airline and Loop 281. (1993)
