Lancaster ISD Tiger Students, Families, and Staff,
As we close out another incredible school year, I simply want to say thank you.
Tomorrow marks the final day of school, and what a year it has been for Lancaster ISD. Together, we celebrated academic success, championship victories, student achievements, fine arts performances, college acceptances, career certifications, and moments that reminded us what Tiger Pride truly looks like. From classrooms to competition floors, stages to athletic fields, our students continued to shine in remarkable ways.
This year, we proudly lived out our district motto, Learn. Lead. Roar.
To our students, I thank you for your hard work, resilience, creativity, and spirit. You continue to inspire us every single day. Whether you are moving to the next grade level, heading to middle school, high school, college, the workforce, or the military, know that we are proud of you and excited for your future.
To our teachers and staff, I thank you for pouring your hearts into our students. Your dedication, long hours, encouragement, and commitment to excellence are what make Lancaster ISD special. The impact you make reaches far beyond the classroom.
To our parents and families, I thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the school year. It truly takes all of us working together to help our students succeed, and we are grateful to walk alongside you.
This year brought many unforgettable moments for our district. We celebrated student success at every level, recognized outstanding employees, continued building strong community partnerships, and saw our community support the future of Lancaster ISD in meaningful ways. We also will continue our tradition of excellence with another 100% graduation rate at Lancaster High School.
As summer begins, I hope each of you takes time to rest, recharge, spend time with loved ones, and make wonderful memories. You have earned it.
Thank you for making this school year one to remember. Have a safe, joyful, and relaxing summer!
Yours in Education,
Dr. A. K. Perera
Superintendent
Lancaster Independent School District
