Leander ISD Compass Center

That’s a wrap on the 2025–2026 school year and our inaugural year in the Compass Center! 🎉

We ended the year with fun, community, and laughter, celebrating the memories we made and looking ahead to the bright futures of our students. Here’s to all we’ve accomplished and all that’s still to come! 💙

A huge thank you to Leander Fire Department Station #3 and Cedar Park Fire Department Station #5 for welcoming Compass Center students for an incredible tour and hands-on learning experience! 🚒🔥

Last night we celebrated a milestone moment — the inaugural graduating class of the Denise Geiger Compass Center! 🎓✨ Watch below if you didn’t get a chance to attend!

Compass Center students rode the CapMetro bus and train to the Transit Store to get their reduced‑fare cards — opening the door to more independence, more access, and more community adventures.

🌼 Bluebonnet Backpack Food Drive Success! 🌼

For the past 2 weeks, Compass Center students showed incredible generosity and teamwork collecting food for the Backpack Program. This food drive was initiated by Ms. Gauna’s SELF 2 independence class.

• SELF 2 Community brought in 803 items, earning a well‑deserved pizza party.

• Mrs. Crompton’s SELF 2 STRIVE class collected 352 items, winning a cupcake party.

• Mrs. Gassaway’s SELF 2 Determined morning class contributed 85 items, earning a donut party.

Thank you to every student, staff member, and family who contributed. Your kindness strengthens our Backpack Program and makes a real difference!

Thank you to Christine Alt w/ Marketing Professionals, Sheri Reynolds w/ Anderson Terrace Wedding and Event venue, Rosemary Wallace w/ Ad Magazine, Terri Atwood w/ Tatwood LLC/Sage Capital Bank, and Kate Leonard w/ The Nitsche Group for providing the Compass Center staff with goodies for teacher, job coach, and nurse appreciation week! Our staff greatly enjoyed the treats all week long.
