Jan. 9, 2026 is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Let's join Interim Superintendent Motal as he connects with one of the LHISD police departments finest, Officer Rick Reza!

You might think of a LHISD staff member who:

• Tackled a process that wasn’t working and improved it for everyone
• Helped troubleshoot an issue to avoid a bigger problem down the line
• Found a solution instead of getting stuck in the frustration

We invite our community to nominate a staff member who doesn't give up: https://bit.ly/LEADSinAction

(And yes, you can nominate someone for any LEADS trait at any time!)

The LHISD Gifted and Talented (GT) program referral window is now open. Our GT program is designed to support gifted students who demonstrate an exceptional ability in academic or divergent thinking. If you believe your student may be a candidate for this program, you may complete the referral form by clicking HERE. Testing will begin in February and continue throughout the spring semester. The referral window will remain open through Jan. 30, 2026 at 3 p.m.

Liberty Hill ISD is sharing recommended attendance boundary updates as part of our planning for future campus openings beginning in the 2026–27 school year. These recommendations support the opening of: 

• Lariat Trails Elementary (#8) – August 2026 
• Legacy Ranch Middle School (#3) – August 2026 
• Saddleback Elementary (#9) – August 2027

 No final decisions have been made. We are currently in the community feedback phase, gathering input through this video, town hall meetings, and the Attendance Boundary Advisory Committee. All feedback will be reviewed before a final recommendation is presented to the Board of Trustees on Feb.16. 

Town Hall Meetings (same content at both): 

• Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. – Liberty Hill Middle School (13125 Hwy. 29, Liberty Hill) 
• Thursday, Jan. 15 at 6p.m. – Legacy Ranch High School (450 CR 258, Liberty Hill) 

 Please review the information and submit feedback using the survey linked here.

In our latest Chatting with Champions, we’re highlighting our incredible partnership with Operation Liberty Hill, an organization that served more than 1,100 children this past holiday season and distributed over 550,000 pounds of food to families in need throughout 2024. 

From Giving Tree and Blurple Santa to blessing bags that support LHISD students year-round, this work is changing lives across our community.
