National Teen Driver Safety Week is October 18-24
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 14-to-18 year olds in the U.S. In fact, in 2013, there were 2,614 teen (15-to-19 year old) passenger vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes, where an estimated 130,000 were injured.

The Llano 9th grade and JV football teams have each had a successful start to the season as they traveled to Salado this last week with both teams bringing home victories. The freshman record currently stands at 4-2 with victories over Brady, Sonora JV, San Angelo Lakeview and Salado. The JV record is currently also at 4-2 as they have defeated Brady, Bangs, San Angelo Lakeview and Salado.

Winning is more fun sometimes when so many setbacks precede the victory. That’s an observation of the Lady Jackets’ sweep of Lampasas on Homecoming Night. The triumph is Llano’s first in district play since 2013. “So excited,” said junior Lexi Lucas. “Great feeling.” “I was hoping for focus to be there,” stated head coach John Black, and, “I saw a focused team the whole game.” Serves by Angela Palmares and Meredith Moore, and a winner from Katelyn Blair led the Jackets to ...

The following events or services have been scheduled so far to help our students prepare for their academics this year or their postsecondary plans after LHS: Before school began, the counselors hosted an Academic Night for students and parents to help all LHS students have a successful s ...
As many of you know, Llano ISD is considered a “Robin Hood” district. The Robin Hood distinction was created during the 73rd Texas Legislative session in 1993 with Senate Bill 7. SB 7 was passed in response to a 1992 Texas Supreme Court ruling that the Legislature needed to create a new school finance system in order to comply with the constitutional provision for an “efficient system of public free schools.” Since property-poor school districts had fought for funding equity amongst sch ...

Students had the opportunity to visit their classroom and bring school supplies prior to the first day of school. Parents are invited to our Open House on October 6th from 4:30 - 6:00 pm.
Taking pride in one’s school is important, but what exactly is it? Whatever it may be, students demonstrate pride in their school in various ways. Even though the origins of spirit are unknown, students continue to feel the need to show pride towards their school. Illustrations of pride can be seen in numerous places within school life such as: participation in spirit activities, wearing school colors, and representing one’s school through team sports.
