This morning, at the end of our third six-week celebration ceremony, we recognized our LC kids for their accomplishments. As superintendent, I am always proud to see our students being honored for their hard work. Moments like this reflect the effort our students put into their learning every single day.
During the ceremony, we celebrated students who earned All A’s, A/B Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, and STAR Student recognition. These achievements show responsibility and discipline. They also demonstrate a commitment to doing things the right way. Those habits lead to strong student outcomes and long-term success.
As we move into the next six weeks, I want our students to build on this momentum. Set goals and stay focused on learning. Continue to challenge yourself and strive to accomplish more. Growth comes from effort and consistency.
At Leverett’s Chapel, student success is always our priority. We are proud of our kids and the example they set for our school community.

At Leverett’s Chapel ISD, we are thankful for our Board of Trustees and the service they provide to our school and our community. These individuals give their time and leadership so our students have the best possible opportunities each day. Serving on a school board carries great responsibility. The decisions made impact students. They impact staff. They impact families. Our board approaches this work with care and thoughtful discussion.
A school district cannot be successful without strong governance. A unified and dedicated board provides direction and stability. Their leadership allows our district to move forward with purpose and confidence.
On behalf of our students and staff, we would like to thank our Board of Trustees for their commitment to Leverett’s Chapel ISD. Your service matters. Our school is stronger because of you.
Small school. Big dreams. Bold futures.

Project Graduation is about more than gifts—it’s about support. We want every senior to leave with something meaningful to help ease the transition from high school to life beyond, and to remind them that their community is cheering them on every step of the way.
We invite you to join us this Friday, Jan. 9th at 7:45am, as we recognize our secondary students for their achievements during the 3rd six weeks.
We look forward to celebrating the hard work and dedication of our students together!

Leverett’s Chapel ISD is looking for a dependable bus driver to join our team. I know firsthand how important good bus drivers are. They are the first person from Leverett’s Chapel our students see every morning, and they set the tone for the day. I understand this responsibility because I spent many years driving a school bus myself.
This is a part-time position with morning and afternoon routes available. Pay is $30 per route, with each route taking less than one hour, for a total of up to $9,240 per year based on our current school calendar. This is a great opportunity for a retired coach, teacher, or school employee, or for someone looking for consistent part-time work.
A valid CDL Class B with endorsements for school buses and passengers is required. If you are interested or know someone who would be a great asset to LCISD, please share this post and tag them.
Anyone interested can contact me directly at meverett@leverettschapelisd.net (903) 8080182

Last week, our Life Skills class celebrated Christmas by making gingerbread houses out of Oreos. The students had a great time, and the smiles said it all. Hands-on activities are an important part of the Life Skills classroom. These lessons help students follow directions. They also build problem-solving skills. Students learn how to work together and take pride in what they create.
Thank you to Mrs. Liv for the care and dedication she shows our students each day. She makes learning engaging and meaningful.
We are proud of our Life Skills program and the growth we see in our students!!!

I want to share some great news with our community. Our Student Council received a $500 grant from Carter BloodCare for the blood drives we hosted last year. Because of the generosity of our donors, Leverett's Chapel was able to help save ninety-nine lives. That is something our entire community can be proud of.
Blood donation is one of the most important ways we can serve others. A single donation can help several patients in our local hospitals. Carter BloodCare makes this process simple, and they have several donation sites across East Texas, including Longview, Tyler, and the mobile units that visit our area throughout the year. Anyone who wants to make a difference can schedule a donation at www.carterbloodcare.org
or visit one of their local centers.
Leverett's Chapel will host another on-site blood drive on January 21st. We will share more details as we get closer to the date. Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort and continues to do so. Your kindness matters.

As Superintendent of Leverett’s Chapel ISD, one of my most important responsibilities is to make sure we bring the very best teachers into our classrooms. Our students, our school, and our community deserve nothing less. Every day, our team works with purpose to provide an environment where students can grow, achieve, and build a strong future. We are also committed to creating a workplace where our staff feels supported, valued, and proud to be part of the LC family.
The Region 7 Educator Career Fair is coming up on March 3, 2026, and this event is an important opportunity to expand the pool of great educators in our area. Strong schools begin with strong teachers, and growing the talent pipeline helps every district in East Texas, including ours.
I encourage you to share this information with friends and family. Talk to people who have a heart for students. Encourage those who may be thinking about a career in education to take the next step. Leverett’s Chapel ISD is always searching for the best people to join our work, and I believe the right teachers can change the future for our students.
Thank you for supporting our district and for helping us continue the mission of providing the best possible outcomes for our children.

Today, Dr. Peddy, our Executive Director of Academics and Performance, represented Leverett's Chapel ISD at Stephen F. Austin State University. He spoke to undergraduate students who are preparing for their clinical teaching assignments and shared the important work underway in our district. Dr. Peddy introduced these future educators to our early steps in implementing the Teacher Incentive Allotment. He also made it clear that Leverett's Chapel ISD is growing as a destination district for strong teachers who want to make a meaningful difference.
Thank you, Dr. Peddy, for your leadership and for speaking on behalf of LCISD and our students. Your work supports our mission and helps us move closer to our vision of becoming the best small school district in Texas.

Our annual Thanksgiving Lunch is coming up this Thursday!!. I hope everyone can make plans to join us. Our cafeteria ladies work very hard each year to prepare a great meal for our students, staff, and community.
This day is important for our school community. When we come together, share a meal, and spend time with one another, it strengthens who we are as a district. LC is a small school, but we have a strong sense of family, and days like this remind us of that.
Lunch times for each grade are listed on the flyer pinned to our Facebook page and webpage; plates are $10 each. We look forward to seeing you and sharing this time together.
Go Lions!
