"Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It's a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It's also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend - even a friend whose name it never knew." - Former President of the United States George W. Bush
Today we honor the memory of the thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. We will never forget their sacrifice, or the triumph of the American spirit.

Congratulations to LCHS employee Jeanine Stevens, recipient of the first Happy Award of the 2023-24 school year! The Happy Award, sponsored by Happy State Bank, recognizes LCISD employees who display fantastic customer service and go the extra mile to help others! Jeanine always has a smile on her face and serves students and staff with enthusiasm and kindness! Thanks for being an important part of the LCP family, Jeanine, and thanks to Happy State Bank for recognizing the hard work of our employees!
You probably know that First United Bank is a tremendous supporter of Lubbock-Cooper ISD. Their generosity spans from holding the naming rights for our Pirate athletics complex (and serving as frequent game hosts) to sponsoring the Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation's annual benefit concert, serving yearly meals to campus staff members in a show of appreciation, and sending dozens of volunteers to read to our elementary students as part of the annual United We Read campaign.
What you may not know is that each year, First United Bank makes a generous donation reserved exclusively for LCISD academics. These funds fill a variety of needs, including technology used to teach phonetic skills and literacy, materials that specifically serve students with dyslexia, professional development opportunities for our teachers, and so much more!
First United Bank was founded by the late Ray M. Bain, whose wife, Barbara, was an elementary school teacher for 35 years. She has a passion for public education, and is well-known by her former students and their families for her servant's heart and her dedication to their academic success (and also for the homemade cupcakes she always baked for her students on their birthdays)! We are grateful for passionate, loving teachers just like Mrs. Bain, and for a partnership with First United Bank that supports our students and teachers while promoting not only the Spirit of West Texas, but the spirit of the LCP Family!
Now is your chance to give back to a teacher who has had a strong impact in our community! Nominate your favorite LCISD teacher for their chance to win $2,500 in classroom cash! (Nominations close September 30. Winner announced in October.)
