Lubbock-Cooper ISD

Please join us for the grand opening of Patriot Stadium at Liberty High School and the inaugural home football game of the Liberty Patriots on Friday, September 27! Pre-game festivities will include performances by the Patriot Regiment and Pirate Pride Bands, a special military presentation, and more! Patriotism is a core value of Lubbock-Cooper ISD, and was the inspiration for the name and mascot of Liberty High School. We are immeasurably grateful for the men and women who have served our country, and it is important to our school family that we not only honor these individuals, but teach our students the importance of respecting and honoring their bravery and sacrifice, as well. As part of our pre-game festivities, we would like to invite all United States veterans in and around our community to join us as honored guests for this special event! Veterans will have seating on the track during our pre-game presentation, and veterans (along with their families) will have seating in a special reserved section of our stands for the game. If you are a veteran and can join us, please be sure to complete the form linked below! This will help us determine the amount of seating needed, and also help us provide our honored guests with a special token of our appreciation. https://url.lcisd.net/patriotstadiumrsvp

Pirate Football fans, if you won't be cheering in person at tonight's game against Lucas Lovejoy, remember the game will be live on Bally Sports Southwest Extra and the Bally Sports website and app! You can also listen in on 100.7 The Score!

New Home ISD has advised that all Liberty Football fans traveling to New Home for tonight's game should avoid traveling south on Slide Road to reach New Home. Instead, the district advises Liberty fans to travel south on Highway 87, then west on 211. This will lead Liberty fans directly to the visitor parking lot shown on the attached map, provided by New Home ISD.

The Patriot Varsity Football team will face New Home at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30 at New Home. Tickets will be sold at Liberty HS through Friday (cash only; $5 adults/$2 students). Please purchase tickets early, as seating will be very limited. Let's go, Patriots!

You may notice a few (hundred!) beaded friendship bracelets floating around the district this year. During the last two weeks of the spring semester, LCISD students assembled more than 1,300 bracelets to be distributed to staff at the start of the school year. Each bracelet includes an inspirational word or statement directly from the hearts of our kids - a fantastic reminder of why we do what we do! #LCPfamily

LCISD staff officially kicked off the new year with our annual Back to School Convocation yesterday! This Convocation was extra special, featuring presenter Sixtus Atabong, PC-A, founder and CEO of Purpose Medical Mission and author of the award-winning "My Father's Gift." Sixtus shared his experiences growing up in Cameroon and the challenges he faced on his educational and life path, along with the support and encouragement he received from educators along the way. At the conclusion of his presentation, Sixtus was presented with Superintendent Bryant's Pulling for Kids Award, the district's highest honor! In addition to the inspiring message from Sixtus, Convocation included a generous donation by the Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation of $1,000 for each LCISD campus, greetings from LCHS and Liberty HS cheerleaders, pom squads, mascots, and drum lines, and the Pledge of Allegiance, Texas Pledge, and national anthem performed by LCISD students! Thanks to Parkhill and the Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation for their generous sponsorship of this event, and to LCU for hosting our staff! We're ready for another fantastic year, and we can't wait to welcome our Pirates and Patriots back home tomorrow morning! #LCPfamily
