National Recognition for Our School!

We are proud to announce that Principal Lezlie Koepp will be recognized on behalf of LVA with a Top Magnet School of Excellence Award at the Magnet Schools of America National Conference, taking place April 14–17, 2026, in San Diego.

This prestigious honor is awarded to only a select group of magnet schools nationwide. Schools earning this distinction are considered among the very best in the country and are eligible for national recognition, monetary awards, and the opportunity to be named the top Elementary, Secondary, or New & Emerging Magnet School in the nation.

One top school will also be selected to receive the $5,000 Dr. Ronald P. Simpson Distinguished Merit Award, the highest honor given by Magnet Schools of America.

This recognition reflects LVA's school’s strong commitment to:

• High levels of student academic achievement

• Diversity and inclusion

• Innovative, integrated curriculum and instruction

• Meaningful family and community partnerships

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and the outstanding work of our students, staff, and families who make our magnet program exceptional every day.
