Congratulations to the eight LISD Destination Imagination (DI) teams who competed alongside 8,000 students from 15 different countries at the Global Destination Imagination Competition at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, May 23-26.

Students, teachers, and parent volunteers at River Ridge Elementary School came together last week to work on a campus-wide community service project.

Leander Middle School's eighth-grade QUEST students recently put on a World In Conflict Museum, intertwining historical research and various writing styles to showcase real-world learning, writing and empathy.

Vandegrift High School student Sonesh Patel was named a member of the 2018 class of U.S. Presidential Scholars. Sonesh is one of 161 high school seniors in the United States to receive the prestigious accolade and one of only six in Texas.

The Leander ISD Board of Trustees and administration saluted LISD retirees for their more than 1,300 years of collective service in education at a dinner Tuesday, May 29, at the LEO Center.
