The Marcus PTSA is an organization whose purpose is to make our students experience better. Sharon Goldblatt, former Texas PTA President, had a great way to think about what the PTA represents: “A booster club for all kids.”
Our mission –
To make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
Marcus PTSA is a unique organization in that students can join the PTSA and lend their voice to the other members in an effort to help create a stronger educational system locally and throughout Texas. Closer to home, the students can go further and join the PTSA Board and help shape the direction at Marcus!

Would you like to be involved with the Marcus PTSA? There is a misconception that as our kids move into middle and high school that parents do need to be as involved at school. The truth is that this is a critical developmental stage of our kids lives and having you engage at school helps! You’ll have a better idea of what’s happening at the school and your kids will notice. They may say they don’t want you involved, but deep down they’ll appreciate it!
We are in the process of building the slate of candidates for the 2013-14 Marcus PTSA Board. To see what positions we have, click here.

Beginning this fall, a Strategic Design subcommittee including two students gathered to begin dialogue on the LISD Brand. The committee worked to align the brand with the District’s new vision and mission through Strategic Design.
Facilitated by a locally-owned firm, Maple Leaf Creative, the team researched quality brands, discussed how brands are fulfilled as well as identified key stakeholders and audiences of the LISD community. Based upon this research and discussion, a tagline was developed along with two logo concepts. The new tagline, “Real Innovation. Limitless Opportunity” encompasses the beliefs, goals and vision of LISD’s Strategic Design.
