As a proud former Commodore, I am honored and excited to return to LCSD. It is a privilege to serve as the principal of LES and to lead such an outstanding staff and student body. LES has a rich tradition of excellence, and I am committed to building on that legacy. My goal is to create a school where every student feels safe, valued, and excited to come to school each day—a place where they are challenged to grow, achieve, and become the very best version of themselves. I also want to foster a culture where parents feel welcomed, supported, and equipped to help their children succeed, and where our teachers feel valued, encouraged, and excited to come to work each day, knowing they have the support they need to thrive. When students, families, and educators work together, incredible things happen.

I look forward to partnering with our families, staff, and the entire LCSD community to build strong relationships and provide every student with the opportunities and support they need to succeed. Together, let’s continue the tradition of excellence and make every day a GREAT day to be a Lafayette Commodore!

Mr. Lee Gray
