Each year at Lowndes High School, the graduating class donates a gift to their alma mater.  The Class of 2009 purchased this grandiose statue from a sculptor in California. The Viking is mounted on a display stand at the North entry to the home side of Martin Stadium.  It will proudly stand there for football games and future events. Statistically speaking the statue, composed of cultured marble, weighs 1300 pounds, stands seven feet tall, sports a stainless steel sword, a Viking Shield and belt with the letter "L" for Lowndes, and a Viking Horn.

The Senior Class of 2009 included President - Katie Shipman, Vice-President - Taylor Smith, Secretary - Stephanie Hancock, and Treasurer - Emily Backes. Sponsors for the class were teachers Nicki Hughes and Jodi Scruggs. 

Mrs. Scruggs said "These girls worked extremely hard their junior and senior years and I am so proud that their efforts can be reflected in this statue for Viking fans to enjoy.  GO VIKINGS!!"
