Lackland ISD Closes Out School Year

 

Today, May 25, 2023, marks the end of the 2022-2023 school year for Lackland ISD. As students and staff prepare for a long summer, I want to thank everyone for their dedication, loyalty, and hard work throughout the school year. We have experienced many triumphs academically and athletically and we are so very proud of you!  We are proud of our students for their hard work and look forward to working with those who will be returning to Lackland ISD next school year.  We also want to wish students who will not be returning next school year all the best in their new schools. We hope that you have fond memories and that we have taught you something that will help you along this journey called life. We are grateful for our parents who continue to serve our great country.  We thank you for your service and your sacrifice.

 A special shout out to the class of 2023 which is the largest senior class we have had in my 19 years at Lackland ISD. Whether you are enrolling into college, joining the workforce, or joining the Armed Forces, we wish you all the success you deserve. We are very proud of you.

We hope that everyone will have a restful, safe, and enjoyable summer.  Please take care of yourselves and your family. We look forward to seeing you in the 2023-2024 school year.

Sincerely,

Dr. Burnie Roper

Superintendent of Schools
