LC Community- As we wrapped up our final staff meeting of the 2024–2025 school year, I took a moment to reflect on what has truly been a remarkable year. We’ve seen success, we’ve celebrated accomplishments, and we’ve grown—both as individuals and as a team. Our students and staff alike have pushed forward in meaningful ways, and I am proud of all that we have achieved. But with that success came challenges, and those challenges brought us valuable opportunities to learn and improve. As I told the staff, this summer, yes, take time to relax and recharge, but also make time to reflect. Reflect on the work we’ve done, what we’ve learned, and what we can each do to get better—to be better. Better for our kids at LC. Growth comes from recognizing our weaknesses, addressing them, and building on our strengths. We are only as strong as our weakest link, and this is a team effort. A strong organization is built through culture, and culture doesn’t happen overnight. It is a process, one that requires full commitment from everyone. As Simon Sinek reminds us, “A culture is strong when people work with each other, for each other.” This year, I believe we’ve taken a meaningful step forward in creating a culture of high expectations, grounded in love and understanding—for ourselves, for one another, and most importantly, for our students. I also want to take a moment to recognize the outstanding individuals who received service awards this year. For five years of service, congratulations to Coach Tiphnay Bowers. Celebrating ten years of dedication are Kendra Chapman (not pictured), Lindsey Monaghan, and Amber Villagomez. For twenty years of service, we honor Lana Dean, and for an incredible forty years, a special recognition goes to Brenda Smith. Your commitment is inspiring. Additionally, we are proud to recognize our staff attendance award winners. Third place goes to Bridgette Hughes, second place to Nelwin Perry (not pictured), and our winner this year is Julia Espinosa. Thank you all for your service, your heart, and your dedication to LCISD. Thank you for a great year. Rest well, reflect deeply, and I look forward to seeing you in August. Go Lions!

LC Community- Last Friday night, the Class of 2025 took the Leverett’s Chapel auditorium for one last time as students of LCISD, and it was a fantastic evening. Carson Ford and Ethan Kirk delivered the Valedictorian and Salutatorian speeches, reflecting on their journeys and thanking the staff for always pushing them to be better learners and leaders. We were honored to have scholarship presentations from Barry Barrett, President of the Exe's Association, LC graduate Colby Shaw of Eastman Chemical, Mary Taylor presenting the Wes McWhorter Memorial Scholarship, Derrick Logozzo from Kilgore College's Instrumental Music and Bands Program Director, and Jimmy Chapman of the Rusk County Democratic Party. Thanks to their generosity and the hard work of our graduates, they earned institutional scholarships of $59,150, external scholarships of $42,250, and FAFSA awards totaling $159,175, for a combined total of $260,575. We wish the Class of 2025 all the best in their future endeavors, once a Lion, always a Lion. We also want to extend a sincere thank-you to their families, friends, community members, staff, and the LCISD School Board of Trustees for their continued support. Small School, Big Dreams, Bold Futures. Go Lions!

LC Community- As I conclude my third full year as superintendent—and my twenty-second year proudly serving LCISD—I’m filled with immense pride for our collective achievements. Under the strategic leadership of our Board of Trustees, our remarkable students have excelled in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in every corner of our district. Our dedicated staff has shown extraordinary creativity and compassion, bringing out the very best in each Lion. When we achieve new pinnacles of success, it’s because of your steadfast commitment; when we face obstacles and perhaps fall a little short of our goals, I shoulder the responsibility and pledge to become an even more visionary leader. This school—and this community—mean everything to me. From our spirited Spring Band Concerts and UIL triumphs to the jubilant Elementary Field Day and the heartwarming Senior/Kindergarten Walk, we’ve created memories that will last a lifetime. Tonight, as we honor our graduates at Senior Graduation, we celebrate: Small school. Black and Gold. Big dreams. Bold futures. It’s not where you start—it’s where you’re going. Our seniors are stepping into the real world carrying Lion Pride in their hearts—once a Lion, always a Lion—and today marks both an ending and the beginning of their next great adventure. As we look ahead, let us carry the words of Winston Churchill: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Thank you to our families, faith partners, local businesses, and Board of Trustees for standing with us every step of the way and making LCISD feel like home for everyone who walks through our doors. Enjoy your summer, and I look forward to seeing you next school year—if not sooner. Go Lions!

LC Community- Today we’re proud to celebrate National Band Director Day by honoring Mrs. Amanda Johnson as she concludes her 22nd year leading the Lion Bands at Leverett’s Chapel. Over more than two decades, Amanda’s passion and dedication have turned each season into a musical journey—raising the bar a little higher every year. From halftime shows that bring our community to its feet to guiding first-time musicians through those first notes, Mrs. Johnson’s steady leadership has created countless memories and strengthened our LC family. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for your extraordinary contributions and for inspiring our band students—past, present, and future—to hit every note with confidence. Go Lions! P.S. I am making a list of all of the people who "laughed" at me being taped to the wall.
