Message from the Superintendent
Hello Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

I am excited about joining the LISD team as the Superintendent of Lancaster ISD and appreciative to the Board for selecting me for this position. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve you.

I truly believe that by working together we will successfully meet the challenge of creating a premier school district. My personal mission that drives me is my passion, my understanding, and my knowledge of the transformative power of a quality education. By working collaboratively with all stakeholders and in partnership with parents, we can ensure that our students have access to the best educational system possible - one that is rigorous and prepares our students to do much more tomorrow than what they can do today. Collectively, we can ensure that the young men and women who graduate from Lancaster ISD will leave with more than a diploma; they will leave with choices, opportunities, and the ability to transform their dreams into reality.

During the next 90 days I am committed to “hitting the ground listening and learning.” I am looking forward to learning about the context of the district, the successes, challenges, trends, and opportunities. A link to my entry plan and listening agenda has been included on this page for your review. There is also a link to a stakeholder feedback form. Please use the survey to provide information you would like to share with me during this entry process.

Please rest assured that I recognize that the foundation for success is already in place, and know that I am committed to moving the district from Strategic Planning to Intentional Excellence.

Sincerely,
Dr. Michael McFarland
