Recent History
In 2000, Lovejoy ISD opened its second elementary school, Joe V. Hart Elementary.
Until fall 2006, the district operated as a K-6 program; all middle and high school (grades 7 through 12) students attended the neighboring Allen ISD. After initial proposals to merge with Allen ISD were met with opposition by local residents, the district called a bond election to build a new middle school and high school with the goal of becoming a full K-12 district; the proposal was approved by voters.
As of the 2009-2010 school year, Lovejoy ISD serves students in grades K-12. Students in grades K-5 attend one of the three elementary schools - Lovejoy Elementary, Hart Elementary, and the newest elementary, Puster Elementary, which opened in August 2008. Students in grades 6-8 attend Sloan Creek Middle School. Students in grades 9 through 12 attend Lovejoy High School.
The transition plan for Lovejoy ISD was to add a grade level each year until 2009-2010, when the district would begin serving children in grades K through 12. The class of 2010 was the first high school graduating class in the history of Lovejoy Independent School District.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
