leader in me North East ISD is proud to be a part of The Leader in Me. This important program is a whole school transformation process by Franklin Covey.

Principals at each of the schools below will receive a congratulatory banner to celebrate their accomplishment.

  • Canyon Ridge Elementary School
  • Hardy Oak Elementary School
  • Hidden Forest Elementary School
  • Jose M Lopez Middle School
  • Las Lomas Elementary School
  • Redland Oaks Elementary School
  • Stone Oak Elementary School
  • Tuscany Heights Elementary School
  • Vineyard Ranch Elementary School
  • Wilderness Oak Elementary School

 

“We created the new Lighthouse School of Academic Distinction to recognize Leader in Me Schools that have both met the rigorous requirements necessary to achieve and maintain Lighthouse School Certification and shown exemplary academic growth or proficiency as measured by state accountability standards,” wrote Sean Covey in his letter to principals. “While we recognize that Leader in Me is only one of many factors that affect academic achievement, we are pleased to acknowledge and celebrate your achievement.”

The schools will receive their banners in January. Be sure to congratulate the principals of these schools who have dedicated their efforts to supporting The Leader in Me.
