LC Community-
In the coming days, a soccer survey will be shared with our community and our students. Providing opportunities for our students and our families matters to me. It matters academically. It matters socially. It matters for school pride and for keeping families connected to LC.
Over the years, I have seen students, and in some cases entire families, leave our district because we did not offer certain programs, whether academic or extracurricular. That is difficult to see, and it is something I take personally as your superintendent. This survey is part of doing our due diligence. No decisions have been made. This is about listening and understanding the needs and interests of our community. It means too much to me not to try on behalf of the betterment of our district and the future of our students.
The community survey consists of 13 questions and should take less than 5 minutes to complete. It will be posted on our Facebook page and on the district website. A separate student survey will be emailed to all current 6th through 11th-grade students so we can hear directly from them as well. I ask that you take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Please let us know how you feel about the possibility of bringing soccer to LC. Your voice matters, and your feedback will help guide future conversations.
Please share this post so we can hear from as many families as possible.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, our schools, and our community.

I want to take a moment to recognize the hard work taking place in our band program. We have 33 junior high and high school students preparing to participate in UIL Solo and Ensemble. The event will take place in Lindale on February 6. This level of participation says a great deal about our students and our program.
One example is our percussion quartet. De'Waylon Brown, Thomas Johnson, Dustyn Cedillo, and Armando Chavez have been practicing with Mr. D. They are putting in the time it takes to do things the right way. They represent the commitment we see across our band program.
As superintendent, I cannot overstate how important our band program is to the success and morale of our school. Band builds discipline. Band builds teamwork. Band builds pride and confidence. It brings energy to our campus and unites our students and community. I am proud of our students and grateful for the dedication of our band staff who invest in our kids every day.

Due to possible inclement weather, our opponent has cancelled our Friday night game. Thank you for understanding.
As we head into the weekend, I want to take a moment to say thank you to our LC Community.
Every day, our students show us that big dreams can grow in a small school. They work hard. They support one another. They remind us that success is built one step at a time. What matters most is not where you start, but where you are going.
I am proud of our students, our staff, and our families who continue to believe in what Leverett’s Chapel stands for. Together, we are building strong foundations and bold futures for every child we serve.
I hope everyone has a safe and well-deserved weekend. And please remember: if I can do anything for you, reach out. 903-808-0182.

LC 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.

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
