Note from Dr. Talbert

Happy New Year! Lorena ISD faculty and staff are excited about all that is in store for the spring semester. 

We want to continue to challenge our students academically, encourage them in character development and citizenship, and provide opportunities for involvement in service projects, clubs, activities, sports, and more. In the midst of all that a normal spring semester entails, our building projects are in various stages of planning and construction which adds to the excitement! We ask that you share our enthusiasm for the great things happening with the facilities in the district, and, additionally, we ask for your patience as we have to re-route traffic, change activity locations. modify schedules, etc.... 


As you drive down Old Lorena Road, you can see the progress on the 2nd grade wing addition at Lorena Primary School. At Lorena Middle School, crews worked throughout the Christmas holidays to prepare for the cafeteria expansion. The detailed plans for the high school renovations and additions are being prepared to go out for bid, and the plans at Lorena Elementary are in the works as well. Check the Construction link on our website for updates. 


Looking forward to an extraordinary spring semester!
S. Talbert
LISD Superintendent
