The Water in Midland Career Fund was established in 2020 by former graduates (1955-1965) of Midland High School and Lee High School. The fund supports men and women who are enrolled at Odessa College seeking a career in a vocational and/or technical trade, and who have a documented need for financial assistance in order to gain the training and education necessary to advance in the chosen career path. Preference is given to veterans of the Military.

Through this blog you’ll be able to reminisce with classmates from Midland High School and Lee High School. We shared more than our childhoods. We shared the water in Midland, Texas which made us who we are today!
