We are #LovejoyProud to celebrate Ms. Anjie Lindblom during National School Social Worker Week, March 4-8th!
School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals with a degree in social work who provide services related to a person's social, emotional and life adjustment to school. School Social Workers are the link between the home, school and community in providing direct as well as indirect services to students, families and school personnel to promote and support students' academic and social success.
We are incredibly grateful for the resources Ms. Lindblom provides to our students, their families, and our teachers. #TeamLovejoy #OneHeartOneLovejoy #LovejoyCulture
Lovejoy ISD is fortunate to have outstanding educational diagnosticians that serve students across our district. Please join us in celebrating: Christina Paxton, Judy Hendricks, Elaine Dow, Lacy Massey, Tammy Williams, Vanessa Pembroke.
Educational diagnosticians undergo specialized training to use academic and psychological tests to assess students suspected of disabilities, isolate factors that could enhance students’ performance in the classroom, and prepare formal evaluation reports. Diagnosticians provide information to ARD Committee meetings and assist special and general education teachers by developing and recommending strategies and materials.

Lovejoy ISD is pleased to announce that five students from Lovejoy High School have been named National Merit Scholarship Program Finalists:
Declan Finnigan
Grant Hu
Joshua James
Hannah Mao
Edward Sutton
Of approximately 1.5 million junior students who took the PSAT National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, the top scorers were identified among 50,000 for program recognition. From there, the top 34,000 were identified as Commended Students. As one of the top 16,000 students to earn National Merit Semifinalist standing, these students continued on to apply for Finalist standing. The students then submitted an application, essay, school-based recommendation, and verified their high academic standings as well as took another test- the SAT or ACT.
These Finalists will have an opportunity to continue in the competition for about 7,150 Merit Scholarship® awards to be announced in the coming months.
Congratulations to all of our Lovejoy High School National Merit Finalists!
