Thank you for visiting the Lancaster ISD Website!

 
The mission of LISD is to educate every student with the knowledge, skills, and principles to succeed and contribute in a competitive and technologically advancing world by providing rigorous and engaging learning opportunities that promote diversity; create an environment of integrity and respect; and establish a commitment to continued improvement in partnership with families and community. 

 
Thank you for browsing through the District and School web pages.  The District website is one of the main mechanisms that we use to keep our stakeholders informed concerning the happenings in the district. I also encourage you to "like" us on Facebook, "follow" us on Twitter, and sign-up for our text mail alerts.    

 
I am excited about the 2011/2012 school year and I am looking forward to the opportunities that a new school year brings.  Lancaster ISD students made significant academic gains this past year and I assure you that the LISD teachers, staff, and faculty will not rest on our progress. We return with a renewed sense of purpose and a laser like focus on ensuring that we provide the best educational experience possible as we strive to become the best district of the Best Southwest. 
    
The District Strategic Plan represents our Excellence Agenda and is used as our roadmap. It was collaboratively developed by LISD stakeholders and identifies specific desired results to which all efforts are directed toward the good of all students. 

Our focus for this school year is to have One Voice, One Vision and to operate as One District United with One PurposeExcellence for All. No Alibis. No Excuses!  I am looking forward to working with you this school year to transform this dream into a reality.  Please remember to visit the website often and contact your child’s school today to  find out how you can join us in our pursuit of excellence.
