This petition has been created to assist in the ongoing efforts to reinstate Coach Curtis Jones, a 30-year employee of Longview Independent School District, who was abruptly removed from his position as head track coach at Longview High School.

Coach Jones has produced 58 state participants since 1989 (17 of those qualifiers since 2000). Not to mention that he coached the record holding boys 4x100 meter relay which still holds this record at Texas Relays. This record has remained unbroken for 20 years.

There is only one word to describes such a person - Proven. He has produced when other athletic departments did not. He lead the Lobos and kept our mighty alma mater in the light not in the dark. He delivered state champions when others failed to do so. So lets come together as one unit, a collective whole, to support a man that not only created champions but who also changed lives of the many athletes that walked the halls of Longview High School. Let your voice be heard and not silenced by signing the below petition to reinstate Coach Jones into his rightful and earned position as head track coach of the Lobo Track and Field Program. He has shown and proven that he can and will sustain a quality program.
