Unprecedented Support: It demonstrates an unparalleled level of commitment from the entire staff to the success of their students.
Stronger School-Wide Collaboration: This unified effort fosters a stronger sense of community and facilitates better communication and cooperation between all stakeholders – teachers, staff, parents, and students.
Recognition of Excellence: Earning the Golden Apple Award is a prestigious recognition of the school’s dedication to student well-being and the positive impact of the PTSA.

Encourage your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, booster club volunteers, workout buddies—everyone in your circle of influence—to vote on November 5. It’s just that simple: VOTE!
We want public officials to fully fund public education. When we call them this spring—as they make decisions that affect our children each day—candidates’ offices 100% look up whether we’ve actually voted. No vote? No say. Your vote makes sure you will be listened to in Austin.
This election season, let’s make sure they understand that #LISDvotes.
WE ARE MARCUS and WE VOTE. #PTAVotes #MarcusHSVotes
