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 history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“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)
