LAMAR CISD students named National Merit Finalists; campuses earn PLC honors
Summary
The board recognized three National Merit Finalists, two elementary students who advanced to the Global Amazing Shake competition, several campuses receiving Solution Tree PLC distinctions, and a long‑serving volunteer honored for 42 years of service.
The board's recognitions segment highlighted student and campus achievements across the district. A presenter told trustees that three seniors—representing George Ranch High School and Foster High School campuses—advanced from National Merit semifinalist status to become National Merit Finalists, noting that semifinalists represent fewer than 1% of U.S. graduating seniors and finalists must meet additional test and academic criteria.
The board also celebrated two Morgan Elementary fifth-graders who competed at the Global Amazing Shake competition, announced 13 campuses that earned PLC distinctions (including three model PLC campuses), and honored Mr. Thomas Classel for 42 years of volunteer service at Bowie Elementary. Jennifer Ivy of Solution Tree spoke about the PLC distinctions and commended the district for professional learning commitments. These recognitions were informational and no board action was required.
