—Submitted by a student


Posted November 16, 2004

I'm a former student of Lovelady ISD. I attended this school from Kindergarden to 12th grade. I can honestly say that I had the best education that anyone could have. Everything from class time to homework was the best. I'm a parent now and I know that when my daughter is old enough for pre-k that's where she going.
