The Leestown Way

🎓A huge shoutout to our staff for helping make our first Charger Walk a success! It was a special moment for teachers and staff to welcome back former Leestown students and watch them walk our halls one last time as high school graduates.

Seeing how much these students have grown since their middle school days was a reminder of the impact of hard work, perseverance, and community. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and are excited to see what the future holds for them.

Congratulations, graduates! We wish you all the best as you begin your next chapter and life after high school. Once a Charger, always a Charger! 🐎

✨ After two long days of promotion ceremonies, our 8th graders came together for one final celebration—the 8th Grade Dance! 💃🕺

It was a night filled with music, laughter, memories, and time spent with friends as we celebrated the end of an incredible middle school journey.

A special shoutout to the student leaders who helped plan and organize this event, and to all of our amazing 8th graders who came out to celebrate. We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

Our Ag Science students have been hard at work this week creating beautiful string art pieces as teacher appreciation gifts! 🎨🔨
