Meet the Administrators

                                                                            Dear LFE Family,

As we closed another extraordinary school year last year, we celebrate the dedication, perseverance, and partnership of our students, staff, families, and community. Together, we have built more than a school—we have nurtured a culture of possibility where learning flourishes, growth is celebrated, and every success reminds us of what we can achieve when we move forward as one team. 

This year, we proudly celebrate the tremendous accomplishment of earning a B letter grade. This achievement represents the determination of our students, the commitment of our educators, and the unwavering support of our families and community partners. Even more inspiring is the amazing growth we have witnessed in teaching and learning throughout the year—growth that reflects our shared belief in excellence and our continued pursuit of success for every child. 

As we look ahead, we are energized and ready to continue this powerful momentum through our theme, Harvesting Excellence with Lightning R.O.D.—Respect, Ownership, and Determination. We will continue to plant seeds of learning, cultivate strong relationships, and harvest the excellence that lives within each of our students. We hope everyone has enjoyed a wonderful summer, and we are excited to welcome you back to the new school year. We look forward to another inspiring school year in August 2026! 

With gratitude and best wishes, 

Your Very Proud Principal, 

Mrs. Denise Dopico-Lizano
