This was a historic day for Lubbock-Cooper ISD. We opened our TENTH campus and second comprehensive high school, Liberty High School.
Thanks to Superintendent Keith Bryant, Board of Trustees President Paul Ehlers, Liberty Principal Phillip Saffel, and Sergeant Major Orlando Castillo for delivering inspirational remarks. We also thank Labatt Food Service and the LCISD Food Services Department for fantastic refreshments, Local Legends Print Factory for printing swag on-site, and a host of LCISD students for everything from greeting guests to performing the national anthem.
The dedication was packed with hundreds of members of the LCP family, from current students to alumni, parents to elected officials, administrators and staff from every other Lubbock-Cooper campus and department, architects and contractors who worked tirelessly to bring the campus to life, community members whose campaign efforts and votes made this concept a reality, and so many more.
Sure, they came to finally get a glimpse of the beautiful building and to be part of a community milestone. But, more than anything, they were there because THIS is the LCP FAMILY. We support one another and we celebrate together; we take pride in the accomplishments of our fellow Pirates and Patriots, and we show up for each other. This isn't just a school district, it's a home, and we're so thankful to call it ours!

TxDOT has announced that the intersection at Indiana Avenue south of FM 1585 (Loop 88) will be completely closed to overnight traffic on the night of Wednesday, August 16 beginning at 8:00 p.m.
At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, August 17, all southbound lanes of traffic on Indiana will reopen, and the northbound turning lane and northbound inside lane will reopen. The northbound outer lane and right-turn lane will remain closed.
TxDOT anticipates that the complete closure will last for one night only (the night of August 16). However, for the two months following this initial closure, TxDOT anticipates that the northbound outer lane and right-turn lane of Indiana (as it crosses FM 1585 [Loop 88]) will remain closed, but all other lanes should remain open throughout the day and night.
Please note that this timeline could change. While the district has no control over this construction, we will relay any messages we receive from TxDOT. You can also find information about this project on the Lubbock-area section of the TxDOT website, https://www.txdot.gov/about/newsroom/local/lubbock.html.
Liberty High School has come a long way over the past few years!

East Elementary's Mrs. Rolan has turned a classroom corner into the "Author Spotlight" area! This summer, she's reached out to more than 30 children's authors of books in her classroom library to learn more about their lives and careers, and has even added character stuffed animals to correspond with the books. She is working on developing lifelong readers by making creative connections for her students!
When the Lady Raiders stop by to hang out with the Lady Pirates! 🏐🏐🏐
