Our LOVEJOY 2030 Strategic Planning Committee came together over the past two days for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and reflection, partnering with students, staff, and community members to help shape the future of Lovejoy ISD.

Lovejoy Cheer delivered two outstanding performances, earning 6th place out of 76 Class 5A Division II teams across the state of Texas. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication. Today they take the national stage as they compete at NCA Nationals competition!
The Lovejoy Volleyball program has had an intentional and productive start to the off-season, driven by the dedication and commitment of its athletes. Players have embraced early mornings, beginning 6:30 a.m. workouts before the school day with Performance Course. These sessions challenge athletes physically while reinforcing discipline, consistency, and accountability.
Beyond the weight room, athletes are investing in personal and team growth through a program-wide book study of The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork by John C. Maxwell. The study has sparked meaningful conversations around leadership, responsibility, and the importance of working together toward a shared goal.
This off-season is about more than preparation, it is about growth. Athletes are learning to show up for one another, push beyond their comfort zones, and commit to the vision of what Lovejoy Volleyball can become. As they continue to #BTV—Build The Vision—for next season, excitement continues to build around how their hard work, unity, and character development will carry forward into the year ahead.

Lovejoy Robotics Makes History 🤖🏆
Lovejoy High School’s VEX Robotics teams delivered an outstanding performance at the VEX Robot Rodeo DFW Signature Event, a national competition featuring 92 teams from 10 states.
For the first time in school history, a Lovejoy team was crowned Tournament Champion at a Signature Event. Team 1082E (Carbonated Potato) earned the championship title alongside their alliance partner, showcasing exceptional strategy and execution.
Additional team highlights:
-1082M (Meltdown) – Design Award
-1082J (Jumbo Shrimp) – Think Award
-1082N (No Way Micheal) – Season-high skills scores and improved global ranking
As a result, 1082E and 1082M have both qualified for the VEX Robotics World Championship—for the first time in school history, with two teams qualifying at a single Signature Event. The championship will be held this spring in St. Louis.
Out of more than 1,500 teams worldwide, only 51 have qualified at Signature Events so far—Lovejoy now has 2 of them.
Congratulations to our incredible robotics students and coaches. The world stage awaits! 💥
