“Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Secondary students from across the district participated in the second annual Texas Tech University MLK Youth Empowerment Summit this weekend. Sessions included goal setting, finding one’s purpose, and even medical and law school 101.
Keynote speaker Sean Lewis encouraged attendees to be all they can be in honor of Dr. King’s legacy!
We are grateful for this opportunity for our students to not only learn about the life and impact of Dr. King, but also learn more about the many ways they can make a positive impact in their communities.
One of the many objectives of the Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation is to invest in the future of LCISD students - in part through awarding scholarships to deserving seniors seeking to further their education.
LCISD seniors are encouraged to apply for the Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation Scholarship. The Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation Scholarship is open to all Lubbock-Cooper seniors (Lubbock-Cooper High School and New Hope Academy).
During the application process, seniors will also have the opportunity to be considered for four memorial scholarships.
This is a great opportunity for our hard-working students to get a head start on funding for college or trade/technical school! Students can complete the online application at https://url.lcisd.net/lcef2024. The application deadline is Tuesday, February 27, 2024.

At the December meeting of the LCISD Board of Trustees, LBMS teacher Elizabeth (Libby) Vineyard was recognized with the LCISD Gold Award, sponsored by Grand Canyon University.
Issued once per semester, the Gold Award honors district employees who embody our district values of innovation, excellence, and family. A Gold Award recipient may hold any role throughout the district, but they all have one quality in common - they are working to further our vision of building the future, one student at a time! Mrs. Vineyard received several Gold Award nominations, including the excerpts below:
"Miss Vineyard has become my daughter's favorite teacher. Miss Vineyard will help her after school with subjects she is struggling with. She has gone so far out of her way for my daughter...She has been a blessing to my daughter."
"Miss Vineyard has a patience and understanding and positive energy that massively helps her students....I believe Elizabeth Vineyard is a prime example of what a teacher should be."
"We are new to Lubbock-Cooper schools. Mrs. Vineyard has worked hard to help [our son] grow. I think the part that stands out though - she wrote a short note this week to encourage him about how hard he's worked in her class. That meant a lot to him (and us)."
Mrs. Vineyard is "good as gold," and we are so proud she's part of the #LCPfamily!
Shoutout to our latest recipient of the Happy Award, LCMS' Kelli Thummel! Sponsored by Happy State Bank, the Happy Award is reserved for LCISD employees who go above and beyond to serve students and our school community while spreading joy and positivity! #LCPfamily
Congratulations to LCHS coach and teacher Garrett Tressler, named a Mrs. Baird's Teacher on the Rise! This student-nominated award shines a spotlight on educators making a significant impact in the lives of their students! Congratulations, Coach Tressler! #LCPfamily
