This Friday, September 22 is a student holiday and staff professional development day across Lubbock-Cooper ISD! Enjoy the three-day weekend, Pirate and Patriot students!


Our district values innovation and creative teaching methods that reach today's students. This often means incorporating educational technology in and out of the classroom to make sure students are prepared for whatever their futures may hold.
None of this is possible without the LCISD Technology Department! We are so grateful for our team of hard-working, forward-thinking professionals who dedicate their lives to Information Technology! #ITprofessionalsday #ITproday #LCPfamily

"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.
