Andy Plunkett announced his retirement this June after 33 years in education.
Mr. Plunkett served the students of Lewisville ISD for 29 years. He began his career with Lewisville ISD as the Agriculture Science teacher at Lewisville High School where he taught wood shop, welding and livestock husbandry. Mr. Plunkett then served as an Assistant Principal at LHS. Following this, Mr. Plunkett assumed the Assistant Principal role at the opening of Lewisville’s original 9th grade campus, then known as Lewisville High School North. After serving as the Principal of LHS North, Mr. Plunkett opened the LHS Killough campus as Principal in 2005, and 6 years later Plunkett opened the second satellite campus, LHS Harmon. In 2015, he was named LISD’s Central Zone Leader, a position that later evolved to Chief of High Schools.
In each of his leadership roles, Mr. Plunkett was consistently active in community service, implementing opportunities for students throughout his career: supporting the LISD Agriculture Show and Sale, overseeing the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Art and Essay Contest, advocating for the AVID program, and honoring Black History Month, Chin National Day, and Hispanic Heritage Month through campus-wide performances and celebrations.
Mr. Plunkett’s impact across our district and community is far reaching. This is evident when he crosses paths with one of the many students he has positively impacted. He is a leader with the gift of genuine care for each student and their families, always striving for the best education and development of each individual. Mr. Plunkett seeks to help ALL students reach their potential by mentoring, helping with college applications and recommendations, and ensuring that all students and teachers feel welcomed, supported and at home in their schools.
There is no better way to honor Mr. Plunkett and his service and commitment to LISD students than to create a scholarship in his name. Please know that any amount you can donate to help this endeavor would be greatly appreciated.
