LHISD Board Briefs
May 15, 2023
Panther Nation,
We had a great board meeting Monday night. We were able to celebrate our students, teachers, and staff members who are great examples that represent the LHISD Vision of Building Champions in Academics, Character, and Community. We also welcomed new board member Chris Neighbors who began his term for the next three years. We also made some small changes to the 2023-24 instructional calendar. Please take some time to read about the great things your Liberty Hill ISD board is doing for the staff, students, and community.
