Superintendent's Office

Welcome to Lancaster ISD! 

We pledge our commitment to student success through continuous improvement through high-quality education and positive interactions with students, staff, and community members. 

Lancaster ISD is a destination district for our students and parents and the district of choice for our employees. Each day, these individuals choose to Tiger Up with an ongoing commitment to high academic expectations, mutual respect, safety, and a positive learning environment for all students. In addition, our Lancaster ISD employees, coupled with the vital partnerships with our parents and community, allow us to thrive in education as the top school district out of the Best Southwest School districts. Therefore, as we work to achieve academic excellence, we do so with our community and intentionality.

As the proud superintendent of Lancaster ISD, I ask you to partner with us and get involved as much as you can to help our students reach their academic goals. I also thank you for helping create a positive educational atmosphere in Lancaster ISD, and I look forward to sharing much more success in the future!

Thank you,
Dr. A. K. Perera
