On a warm spring evening, Lone Star Middle School was alive with curiosity and the excitement of learning well beyond the last bell of the day as families joined their students and educators for an interactive “Celebrating All the Ways Students are Smart” LMS Family Night event. A twist on a traditional parents' night, the event was designed to showcase student learning and educational experiences at the campus in an immersive, engaging way, with parents invited to participate and collaborate in activities like working together to create poetry with their children and experimenting hands-on with zSpace augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technology and other digital learning environment tools.

Not only did the event highlight great work by students at Lone Star, but also, much like the framework of the school building, it exemplified how the school has built upon a strong foundation to continue its 72-year, enduring West Texas legacy by evolving to provide students a 21st century educational experience, while honoring its past. In this week’s San Angelo ISD Campus Spotlight, we invite you to join in the legacy of Lone Star Middle School to learn how Principal Amy Lemaster and team are honoring all students while providing them guiding support to chase their own excellence. 

SAISD is pleased to open our enrollment for new and returning students entering grades Pre-K through 12 for our upcoming school year. Enrollment can be completed from any web browser or smartphone. 

One of the oldest Elementary schools in San Angelo, the iconic entrance to San Jacinto Elementary is still reminiscent of its rich history and provides a legacy which shapes the campus's future. In this week’s San Angelo ISD Campus Spotlight, we invite you to walk through the years of San Jacinto Elementary and how this campus's history has propelled them into the campus they are today.
