Welcome To Leon High School
Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year!
Hello Leon Families,
I’m so excited to welcome everyone back for another great year at Leon Junior High and High School! It’s truly an honor to serve this amazing community as your principal. Leon has such a proud tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts — and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead for our Cougars this year.
What makes Leon special is the people — our hardworking students, our caring and dedicated staff, and our supportive parents and community. When we all work together, incredible things happen for kids. This year, my goal is to continue building those connections and helping every student feel known, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential.
To Our Students:
Come ready to learn, to try new things, and to take pride in being part of our Cougar family. Show kindness, give your best effort, and remember that your attitude and actions make a difference every single day. We believe in you and can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish!
To Our Parents and Families:
Thank you for sharing your children with us. Your support means everything, and we value the partnership we have with you. Let’s stay connected, work together, and celebrate every success — big and small — along the way.
To Our Staff:
I’m so grateful to work alongside such a passionate and dedicated team. The heart you put into helping students grow and succeed is what makes Leon shine. I look forward to another year of teamwork, creativity, and Cougar Pride.
Together, we’ll continue living out our mission:
“Leon ISD, in conjunction with families and our community, will ensure students become successful citizens through discovery of their potential.”
Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, and great memories. Let’s make 2025–2026 our best year yet!
