Dear LISA Family,
I am proud to share that the LISA Academy Gifted & Talented program has been recognized by the Office of Education Policy (OEP) for achieving the Best GT Growth Scores Among Large Districts in the State—marking our second consecutive year earning this distinction. This outstanding achievement reaffirms LISA Academy’s commitment to nurturing and advancing our gifted students.
A special shoutout to our exceptional Gifted & Talented team: Mrs. Hartle, Ms. Dickerson, Ms. Tatum, Ms. Ray, and Ms. Townsend for their passion in supporting our students’ success.
LISA Academy Springdale and LISA Academy West High have also been recognized by OEP for Beating the Odds! This award highlights the schools with higher populations of students participating in the Free/Reduced Lunch program who show much improved growth on the ATLAS test. We are incredibly proud of our students for this achievement, and for our teachers and administrators for supporting our students so they can be successful.
LISA scholars are Today's Learners and Tomorrow's Leaders!
Best Regards,
Dr. Fatih Bogrek
