Welcome

Welcome to our school!
Lone Star was selected as a 2006 California Distinguished School.
It is our mission to educate the whole child. We believe that all children
can excel at academics, and that activities and citizenship are just as
important. Our students know that we have high expectations for them,
and they strive to meet them. We welcome involvement from parents and
the community.

Message from the Principal

Welcome to the Lone Star School website. Our staff is committed to providing a rigorous academic program for all students. Our teachers believe, that with a team approach, all students can and will make the necessary academic growth to become proficient on all grade level standards taught. We feel that our partnership with parents is a strength of our school and is essential to our students' success.
We are all looking forward to a great school year. GO EAGLES!

Virtues of Character in Education Award

Lone Star School has done it again!! We have earned another award for our Community of Caring program. The Bonner Foundation associated with California State University, Fresno awarded Lone Star its "Virtues of Character in Education" Award this month at a ceremony in Fresno. This award is in recognition of the great character and value program at Lone Star which includes our "Caught with Character" tickets, character recognition, and community service projects. Most recently, Lone Star collected the most new and gently used books, in the district, to be donated to families who lack reading materials in their home..Way to go Eagles.
