At Lebanon Trail, we recognize students who exemplify FISD’s character traits through good citizenship and positive behavior. Blaze Praise shines a spotlight on those non-academic qualities that shape a respectful, responsible, and compassionate school community. A Blaze Praise nomination can boost a student’s confidence, reinforce the importance of good character, and enhance their overall school experience. Students are nominated for exemplifying one of our 4 Graduate Profile Pillars–Leadership, Innovation, Social Empathetic, and Driven by Values. The following students were nominated during the month of January. Congratulations Trail Blazers!

Similarly, staff members at Lebanon Trail are recipients of Blaze Praise awards in alignment with our Educator Profile. The 4 pillars of our Educator Profile are Achievement, Purpose, Leadership, and Character. The following staff members received Blaze Praise nominations in the month of January. Congratulations!

The following staff members received Community Shout-Outs in the month of January. Thank you for shining light on the awesome work our Lebanon Trail Staff are doing day in and day out. We appreciate your generosity!

All FISD 11th grade students are automatically registered to take the SAT, free of charge, during the school day on March 5, 2025.

This spring the SAT School Day will be administered in a digital format that will provide an overall easier testing experience for students. Your student will take the SAT on March 5th using their own school-issued device. Students are strongly encouraged to opt-in to the District’s 1 for All Chromebook program to ensure device compatibility with online testing. If your student has not opted in to the 1 for All Chromebook program, there will be a limited number of Chromebooks available on test day on a first come, first served basis.
