When Lancaster ISD Houston Elementary fifth grade student, Yareli Vasquez, heads to sixth grade next school year, she will be dually prepared for success. As a student who participated in the district’s Bilingual Education programs since Pre-Kindergarten, she has become proficient in both the English and Spanish languages.

Students with this certification have received the necessary training and knowledge to successfully work in an office setting, including major areas like the Microsoft® Office Suite applications, preparation and handling of business documents, computer operating systems and internet basics.

This month, Lancaster ISD staff and students worked, assessed and celebrated as we closed the 2017-2018 academic school year. The top of the month began with the Majestic, National College Signing Day and H-E-B Award announcements. Our students achieved great scores on their first round of state assessments, received scholarship awards and announced their higher education plans. The scholarship dollars received by the Class of 2018 was at its highest and is still climbing! The young ladies in our service learning programs had their culminating events and there were numerous moving on ceremonies on the campuses.
