Welcome back, Jag Nation! Welcome back, Jag Nation!

Dear Flower Mound High School Feeder Families,


On behalf of FMHS, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to the 2025–26 school year! Whether your child is just beginning their educational journey in elementary school, navigating the exciting middle school years, or already walking the halls of FMHS, we are all part of one vibrant community.


One of the great joys of being part of the FMHS feeder pattern is seeing how our students grow through each stage of school, supported every step of the way by dedicated families, staff, and neighbors. From the classroom to the stage to the playing field, every experience builds toward the moment we proudly welcome them as high school graduates.


This year, I invite you and your family to join us in celebrating the many opportunities our schools provide. Come cheer on the Jaguars at a football game, attend one of our fine arts performances, or participate in the community events that bring us all together. These moments not only showcase the incredible talents of our students but also strengthen the connections that make our feeder pattern so special.


Thank you for your continued support of our schools and our students. I look forward to seeing you throughout the year at FMHS events and in our community. Together, we are building a future filled with pride, tradition, and endless possibilities.


Go Jags!

TECC-E Expands Student Opportunities

Lewisville ISD proudly unveiled three new and modified spaces at TECC East: a new Auto Tech & Off-Road Diesel shop, a Dental Assisting lab and a new Welding space to meet the needs of this rapidly expanding program. Serving students from all five LISD high school feeder communities, these additions ensure career and technical education opportunities reach across our entire district. All of this was made possible by LISD voters in 2017, who chose to show their support for the future of LISD's CTE programs. SEE MORE PHOTOS

Recognize Someone

The Recognize SomeONE submissions are pouring in, and we're sharing a few for teachers in the Lewisville community. As a reminder, you can visit LISD.net/Recognize any time to submit your own encouragement for LISD staff.

Ms. Bowen: Flower Mound High School

This recognition is a bit late since our youngest graduated this past June. Ms. Bowen taught both of our kids at FMHS. One was in the class of 2023 and the other was in the class of 2025. Both kids constantly spoke very highly of Ms. Bowen. They appreciated how she taught her classes as she showed them all kindness, empathy and compassion. She clearly is passionate about teaching young adults. Ms. Bowen is a favorite teacher and we appreciate all she has done for our kids.

Mrs. Southerland: Liberty Elementary

Mrs. Southerland has been such a joy to be around and has been helping me as a new teacher! She checks in on me and has helped me learn more about the school, other staff members and has made Liberty feel like home for me.
