Lovejoy football 2023

Lovejoy Community, It’s game night! Tonight, is a celebration of the grit, passion, and commitment of our football team, band, colorguard, Majestics, and cheerleaders. Our students have worked countless hours to give our community a phenomenal Friday night lights experience. Their relentless dedication exemplifies what it is to be a Lovejoy Leopard.

Lovejoy ISD takes great pride in having exemplary academic and award-winning extracurricular programs while maintaining a small-town feel. The “Lovejoy Experience” is discernibly different and uniquely special. As we fill Leopard Stadium, there is no doubt that we will all feel an unparalleled sense of community and connection centered on student opportunity.

The experiences that our students have in football, band, colorguard, Majestics, and cheerleading do not happen without the support and dedication of coaches and directors. Please join me this season in making a specific effort to express our deep gratitude for these amazing educators. We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our parents for the personal investment they make in the success of Lovejoy ISD and these special programs. This precious partnership is part of why we are One Heart One Lovejoy.

There is only ONE LOVEJOY and we are ALL LEOPARDS! Katie Kordel Superintendent Lovejoy Independent School District
