Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Lorena Middle School.

"Greatness is not a function of circumstance.  Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline." Jim Collins in Good to Great.

The 2013-2014 school year is off to a FANTASTIC start! In the Lorena I.S.D. a "Tradition of Excellence" has always been about the journey from good to great, or in this year's case, our journey to "Discover Extraordinary."  Lorena Middle School will support that district initiative by continuing to share our passion for learning with the students we serve in grade five through eight. With community and parent support, our goal is to ensure that each student has a challenging and safe learning environment in which to excel.

Lorena Middle School will "Discover Extraordinary" through high expectations, respect for ourselves and others, integrity, and excellence in all that we say and do.  For the 2013-2014 school year, our goal is to Dive Below the Surface to Discover Extraordinary.  So much more exists below the surface level.  Deep thinkers are created by diving below the surface to see all that lies beneath it.  At Lorena Middle School, all faculty and students have the opportunity to be EXTRAORDINARY and we will discover that throughout the school year.

It truly is an honor to teach the children of Lorena. Teachers will create many exciting and fun learning opportunities.  I have encouraged each of our students to get to know our teachers, value the opportunities provided, and be inspired by the great things they learn this year.

It's a great day to be a leopard and it's going to be an EXTRAORDINARY year at Lorena Middle School!
