New programs and training available through Frisco ISD were presented by Allison Miller, Community Relations Director for Frisco ISD. Included was information on Bright Academy, planned to open in fall 2018, which will implement a transdisciplinary framework, which emphasizes inquiry-based instruction, critical thinking and communication, as well as Spanish instruction. The current Bright school will undergo multiple renovations and instruction changes and will also be part of the introduction of Project Lead the Way, a pre-career and technical education program focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Also presented was INCubatoredu, with curriculum, resources and training to support an already-existing entrepreneurship course offered at all FISD high schools. This program will pilot at four high schools: Centennial, Frisco, Heritage and Lone Star during the 2018-19 school term. To assist and support the teachers, local business people are sought to serve as coaches and mentors.

Lebanon Trail High School students of the month were hosted along with their principal, Jake Duce.
