LISD Family Notice:

Early this afternoon, in coordination with local law enforcement, Lewisville ISD Campuses in the City of Lewisville were placed in a Secure. During a secure, students remain or return inside the building, and all doors are locked. No visitors are allowed inside the building, but classes continue as normal.

This was done out of an abundance of caution while law enforcement officials investigated a situation in the Lewisville area. No threat was made against any of our schools. The district has no additional information about the situation, as it was a police matter unrelated to our schools.

Earlier in the day, an ambulance was dispatched to Lewisville High School - Killough to respond to a medical issue with a student. The two situations were unrelated.

As always, we appreciate your support of LISD.

was a HUGE success thanks to our partners including Tom Thumb of Lewisville, , , , , L&C Vending, Men of Distinction, Human Bean of Lewisville, HTeaO of Lewisville, & LHS Tennis! We are so grateful to have their support for our hardworking teachers. Thank you!

This morning we were honored to host our annual Mis Raíces Hispanic and Latino cultural celebration, which gives LISD students had the opportunity to share their incredible talents and cultural heritage with our campus and community!
