About Us

The Lebanon Special School District’s mission is “committed to a community of excellence”. The district provides instruction for pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, as well as, services for children qualifying for special education.

Originally, the school district corresponded to the Tenth Civil District. It has been enlarged twice, taking in areas of the Third Civil District.
