🏆 Huge congratulations to Lovejoy High School Student Council! 🏆
LHS Student Council has been recognized by the Texas Association of Student Councils (TASC) as an elite, comprehensive student leadership organization, earning the prestigious Sweepstakes Award.
This honor reflects an exceptional commitment to service, leadership, and impact across campus and the community. To achieve Sweepstakes, councils must first be named an Outstanding Student Council and earn superior ratings in every project category, including community service, safety and health awareness, patriotism, and environmental initiatives.
Only about 20% of member schools reach this level of distinction, making this achievement even more impressive.
Way to lead the way, Leopards! ❤️🖤

Another incredible showing for Lovejoy Choir 🎶
Lovejoy High School’s Varsity Mixed, Varsity Treble, and Junior Varsity Treble Choirs delivered standout performances at the UIL Region 25 Concert and Sight-Reading Contest.
All three ensembles earned straight Superior ratings from all six judges, securing Sweepstakes honors for excellence in both concert performance and sight-reading.
Performing challenging a cappella selections in German, Latin, Czech, and English, students demonstrated exceptional tone, blend, and musicianship. In sight-reading, each group performed a brand new piece with only minutes to prepare, showcasing their skill and focus.
Judges praised the choirs’ vocal quality, noting their “mature approach” and strong musicality throughout even the most difficult passages.
So proud of these talented Leopards 👏🎤

The Outstanding Service Award is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an individual by our PTO. Recipients of this award promoted students’ well-being and demonstrated care for children above and beyond what is expected or written in their job description. Each year we ask the community to nominate a parent, a volunteer, a teacher, administrator, or community leader that has given so much and done more than was expected. Some contributions to our students are big and visible while others give quietly behind the scenes, making a huge impact all the same. That is why we love to hear from our community to learn about all the great things people are doing in this district. This year, we received almost 200 submissions, far above the average we’ve seen previously.
Congratulations to our 2025–2026 recipients!
