Elementary Seven Years 💕 1st Year National Showcase District

Welcome, Lytle Elementary Families!

I am thrilled to welcome you all to 2024-2025 school year at Lytle Elementary. As I begin my 33rd year in education—all with Lytle ISD—I am reminded of the strong community we have built together. Growing up on a farm just outside of Lytle and graduating from Lytle High School, I am proud to see how far we've come.

This year, we are excited to welcome many new faces to our campus community. We have some wonderful new initiatives in place to strengthen our community and support our students. I am proud to share that our district has been recognized as a CKH National Showcase District, continuing our tradition of being a CKH National Showcase School for seven years. Relationships are key to our success, and we are committed to engaging our students and helping them love school. “We are WHO we are because of HOW we are”.-Flip Flippen

Remember, if you "Capture a kid's heart, you have a kid's mind."

Let's make this year amazing!
