In collaboration with the City of Lucas, the Lovejoy High School Student-Superintendent Connection Council engaged in an immersive City Council Meeting simulation. Lovejoy High School students stepped confidently into key municipal roles—from Mayor and Council Members to City Secretary, City Manager, Fire Chief, and Traffic Study Consultants—bringing both realism and rigor to the experience. They not only embraced their responsibilities with professionalism and insight, but also demonstrated a remarkable commitment to understanding the workings of local government. Whether it was learning the protocols of public meeting notices, conducting traffic impact analysis, or facilitating dialogue among "elected officials" and "citizens," our students brought this simulation to life in powerful and thoughtful ways. To Mayor Kuykendall, Mr. Whitsell, and the dedicated staff of the City of Lucas—your unwavering support, time, and wholehearted investment in our students' learning journeys mean more than words can express. Your partnership is not only appreciated, it is deeply cherished. You have helped open doors to real-world learning that will leave a lasting impact on these future leaders. Thank you for believing in our students and for helping them see the vital role they can play in shaping their communities. Together, we are building not just knowledge—but purpose, civic responsibility, and community engagement. #LovejoyISD#CityofLucas#MunicipalGovernment#KidsCome1st
