Good morning, Wichita Falls.

American Legion Post 169 will host a Memorial Day ceremony at Crestview Cemetery on May 26—volunteers will meet at 7 a.m. to place flags on over 4,000 veteran headstones before a 6:30 p.m. event honors WWII Medal of Honor recipient Thomas Fowler and retrieves the flags.

Officers investigated a collision on May 22 at 5:10 a.m. at the intersection of Southwest Parkway and Taft Boulevard when a Wichita Falls police patrol car hit an SUV—traffic was diverted briefly and no injuries were reported.

Wichita Falls’ Legacy High School held its first graduation ceremony after opening last year—seniors celebrated their milestone with speeches from valedictorian Maegan Roberson and remarks from board trustee Sandy Camp.

The event marked a historic step for the new school and its community.

Military personnel at Sheppard Air Force Base are competing in five demanding events over three days for a chance to earn the prestigious German Armed Forces Badge of Military Proficiency—marking the first time the competition is held at the base—and the event gives airmen a way to earn the honor without traveling overseas.

The city of Wichita Falls applied for a $305,000 grant from the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority to buy a smart drone that can get a closer look at fires, burglaries, or motor vehicle thefts before first responders arrive.

Police Chief Manuel Borrego said the drone will launch from a fixed base, fly itself when a 911 call comes in, and return to its base to recharge — the city must pay $61,000 of the cost and expects a decision in late 2026.

TxDOT and local law enforcement began the Click It or Ticket campaign to remind Wichita Falls residents that buckling up saves lives.

Organizers noted that last year the district had 55 fatal crashes with 20 involving unbelted occupants.
