Opened in the fall of 2003, Leander ISD’s 12th elementary school of the district’s current era – Knowles Elementary School – is named after former LISD teacher and school board member Patricia Faye Knowles, a 22-year teacher and nine-year member of the LISD Board of Trustees.
During Knowles time in LISD, the district could be described as a small, rural school district. Certainly, the 96,600-square-foot elementary campus named after her is a giant leap forward from the six-classroom Leander School where Knowles once taught LISD students.
