Welcome to the website of Lubbock-Cooper ISD, considered by many people to be the finest school district in West Texas. These are indeed exciting times within LCISD – on May 9, district voters approved an $80 million bond issue, which will allow us to construct additional facilities to accommodate the steady influx of new students into the district.  Over the course of the past 11 years, the student population of Lubbock-Cooper ISD has doubled (from 1,892 students to 3,786 students), making LCISD not only the fastest growing district in West Texas, but also one of the fastest growing districts in the entire state.

This rapid growth is no accident.  Hundreds of new families are moving into LCISD each year because of the tremendous reputation the district has earned over the years for providing its students with outstanding academic programs within a safe and orderly learning environment.  The recently released Texas Education Agency Accountability Ratings provide but one example of Lubbock-Cooper ISD’s academic excellence.  As a district, LCISD earned the second highest rating of “Recognized.” Lubbock-Cooper High School and Lubbock-Cooper Middle School also earned “Recognized” status.  All three LCISD elementary campuses – West Elementary, North Elementary, and South Elementary – earned the highest possible rating of “Exemplary.”  Lubbock-Cooper ISD is the only 3A, 4A, or 5A district in Region 17 to earn either the Recognized or Exemplary rating for the district, as well as all campuses within the district.

It has been my great honor and privilege to serve this district for 17 years – three years as principal of Lubbock-Cooper High School and the past 14 years as Superintendent of Schools.  I am very proud to state that I am the father of three LCHS graduates who received an excellent education while attending Lubbock-Cooper schools (I am also very proud of the fact that my oldest daughter serves as a Special Education Diagnostician within the district as well).  This is a wonderful school district.  You will not find a more dedicated professional staff of administrators, teachers and support personnel anywhere in Texas.  You will not find a Board of Trustees more committed to meeting the needs of each and every student within their district.  Finally, and most importantly, you will not find a district where the parental and community support is greater than that found within the Lubbock-Cooper ISD.

We hope that the information provided by our district and campus websites will prove useful to you.  To educate everyone – it takes everyone.  Together, we will ensure that our children are prepared for the challenging future that awaits them following graduation.  And, within the Lubbock-Cooper ISD, that future is being built one student at a time!
