  • 1-20-2022 Amazing Admin!

    It's dreary and cold outside, we are all covering classes, pulling double-duty, and trying to keep up with the demands of our jobs, all while hearing news about depressing school closures...When suddenly, a rolling cart and warm smiles saunter through offering hot coffee, hot cocoa, cookies and encouragement. Our leaders at the high school sure know how to brighten a day and make a person feel cared for and appreciated. In my job, I'm blessed to know our leadership teams on every campus and in every department. They all put a personalized touch on leading with kindness, thoughtfulness, strength and hope. Thank you to all of you today for believing in your Pirate Crews and showing that you are happy we are here doing important work. Brighter, warmer days are ahead!

  • 5-7-2021 Lytle ISD Virtual Service Pin Ceremony

    Our district values our employees for their loyalty to our school community. We have many Pirate Family members who completed 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and even 30 years of service at the end of LAST YEAR, the 2019-2020 school year. Due to COVID protocols we were not able to honor this group during Convocation, as we normally would. To end a very special Staff/Teacher Appreciation week, we ask you to spend a few minutes today watching this Virtual Service Pin Ceremony Video. We are excited to recognize milestone years of service with a special pin. The rest of our Pirate Family can make this day even more special by sending an email or stopping by to see these folks to say, "Thank you for your service!"

    I am sure you are just as happy as I am to be able to return to work and see the kiddos again. Last week was a challenge for everyone especially some of our operations folks. I would like to ask you to join me in thanking those that really went above and beyond. At the risk of leaving someone out, I am going to mention some of our heroes.
