 Leon ISD started the After-School Program currently they have 65 students enrolled and 45 actively involved daily.

 Leon After-School Program mission is to provide engaging learning experiences and resources in a safe and nurturing environment. It is our purpose and responsibility to educate all students to high levels of academic, social, and creative performance while fostering positive growth in social behaviors and attitudes.

Leon after-school program meets Monday through Thursday from 3:00 to 5:00 for tutorials (classroom teachers), homework, games, crafts, recess, computer skills, movies, and physical fitness activities. Extra activities that the after-school program is involved in are Family Night, Halloween Carnival, Red Ribbon Week and the Winter Wonderland.

Our goals are to help bridge the gap between school and home by creating a safe place with structure and comfort between the hours of 3:00 to 5:00 pm. We will strive to promote the development of children?s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth, and to make a positive impact on their lives.

 Our objective is to improve academics, homework skills, build a positive self-image, and promote a drug free me. Our desired outcome is to see student?s improvement in academic performance, increased motivation in school, reduced behavior problems, and increased leadership qualities.
