In honor of School Board Recognition Month, we asked each of our Trustees a unique question. Today we are honored to recognize School Board Vice President, Jeff Wood.
Question: "Can you share a moment when you felt especially proud of Lovejoy and our Legacy of Excellence?"
Answer: "One moment that particularly comes to mind is the celebration for Lovejoy winning the 5A Lone Star Cup. It truly was a recognition of Lovejoy’s culture and student and faculty success across all programs- academics, athletics, and fine arts. I am very appreciative of the long hours, hard work and consistent dedication of so many towards continuing and building upon our Legacy of Excellence."
Thank you, Mr. Wood, for your commitment and service to Lovejoy ISD!
