Board Priorities

Priority 1

Lovejoy ISD will continue to demonstrate growth in student academic achievement as evidenced by a broad range of academic measures appropriate for the elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school levels. The Lovejoy ISD Graduate Profile (Intellectually Equipped, Open to the Challenges of Learning, Well-Rounded, Engaged in a Healthy Lifestyle, Fair and Respectful of Others, Works for Justice in the Community) will become a prevalent part of all students’ pursuits.  Students will personify the Graduate Profile by experiencing challenging and engaging learning.  Research-based instructional strategies will be strategically partnered with innovation.  Profound learning will develop key skills essential to thriving now and in the future.  Technology will be leveraged to enhance individualization, deepen learning, and prepare students for an increasingly technology-driven workforce.

Priority 2

Lovejoy ISD will continue to strive to be recognized as the employer of choice for educators who believe districts should be defined by a culture of superior work ethic, mission-driven behavior, continuous improvement, growth mindset, and positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. Lovejoy ISD team members will exemplify our Educator Profile and align their actions with our Core Values.
