Lastly, Jackie Palovik is the Leopard Spotlight winner for 3.3.23. She does a wonderful job as the LHS Cafeteria Manager and ensures our staff/students have nutritious options to choose from at lunch. She works hard to provide a safe environment and understands the logistical procedures to feed over 1,000 Leopards every day. We appreciate all she does for LHS. Please join us in congratulating her!
I hope that you and your family have a wonderful 2023 LISD Spring Break! Please find time to relax and enjoy the time off with family and friends.

School Day SAT testing
On Wednesday, March 22, 2023, our 11th graders will be taking the School Day SAT. The test was funded through the legislature and will be given at no cost to your student. All testing will take place at LHS and students should arrive no later than 8:45 am. Students who are testing should also bring a pencil and their own calculator. We will have classes for 9th, 10th, and 12th graders and students should report to campus at their regular time.
Class assignments will be posted in the Commons and outside the Library when students arrive.
TXDOT Construction on Estates Pkwy Has Begun
Texas Department of Transportation has started construction on Estates Pkwy. We hope that having the following information will allow you to be prepared and cautious when you travel on this road.
· Work will take place on Estates Pkwy from Angel to Country Club
· They will be doing base repair and widening the road by ensuring the shoulder of the road is the same width for the entirety of Estates Pkwy
· General work hours will be from 9:00 AM-3:30 PM, so there should not be much "if any" imposition during the school day.
· There will be some night work performed from time to time.
· Completion of the project is expected to be June/July 2023
