Campus Ratings Improve LVISD is very pleased that all campuses have maintained or improved their accountability ratings for the 2009-2010 school year! The elementary school remains "exemplary," the intermediate school remains "academically acceptable," the junior high improves to "recognized," and the high school improves to "academically acceptable." LVHS administrators challenged their students to improve the campus rating by making a promise to have a little fun on the first day of the 2010-2011 school year if they did. Shown here are Mr. Chuck Long, LVHS Assistant Principal, and Mr. Sam Sexton, Principal. Mr. Long promised to shave his head if scores improved, and Mr. Sexton promised to grow his hair out. Both kept their word, but the student body voted for Mr. Sexton to shave his head also! Congratulations to all faculty, staff, and students for the hard work displayed this past year to improve the accountability ratings! |

LVHS Construction and Renovations Lead to Road Closure La Vega High School is currently undergoing the first phase of construction additions and renovations as part of the bond package approved by voters in November 2009. Projects included in Phase 1 of this project include the addition of four science labs, two shared preparation rooms and multi-user restrooms. Also, an expansion and renovation to the cafeteria and kitchen will add additional square footage allowing the kitchen to serve 900 students. La Vega High School renovations will also include an expansion of the existing library to include a new space for computers and a more centrally located entrance. The construction is scheduled to be complete in May 2011. Because of construction at this campus, staff parking and student drop-off and pickup areas will have to be altered for the 2010-2011 school year. There has been a driveway through the parking lot of the La Vega High School Football Stadium that provided access from Loop 340 to the Bellmead Civic Center. Because of the increased use of the stadium parking lot during the construction and renovation process, this driveway creates a safety hazard for our staff, students, and parents. Thefore, the LVISD Board of Trustees and Administration has agreed to close off the driveway. The District is very excited about the new improved facilities at La Vega High School, and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause the Bellmead Community. The safety of our students, staff, and parents is of top priority. |
