Vision

The #1LISD community cultivates each student individually to produce the most sought-after creators of our future world.

Mission

We will cultivate each individual student by:

  • Knowing and appreciating them
  • Creating a safe and supportive environment to nurture their personal growth
  • Partnering with each family

Our Guiding Documents — the Graduate Profile, the 10 Ethical PrinciplesThe Leander Way and the Learning Model — are the foundation of who we are and ensure that we maintain a great learning environment for all students.

Core Beliefs

As a public school organization, we hold these truths as our core beliefs:  

  • Each and every student is at the heart of our decisions. This requires a focus on students and all elements that impact their overall student experience in order for them to reach their maximum potential.
  • LISD life-changers (each and every staff member) should be empowered so they can inspire our students to own their learning.
  • Our LISD family, which includes our students and their families, life-changers, board, and community members, thrives when we ensure a welcoming, safe, and caring environment in which we treat one another with integrity, respect, fairness, and acceptance while appreciating our differences.
  • A deliberate and intentional focus on relevant and deeper learning for each student will optimize individual outcomes and personal growth.
  • Developing and maintaining meaningful, collaborative relationships between all our LISD family is vital for a whole child, student-driven experience.
