The Mission of Project Intercept, a
disciplinary alternative education program (D.A.E.P.),
is to support the 4 high schools and 10 middle
schools within the Lubbock Independent School
District. Project Intercept will provide an
educational program to further help students
develop and strengthen their academic, social,
ethical, and behavioral growth. Project
Intercept will address successful community
values by role-modeling and teaching character
among its students. The teaching and learning
environment will provide and strengthen
academic skills that would help close learning
gaps found in each individual student. The
students will be treated with respect and
disciplined with dignity.
The Mission of
the Lubbock Independent School District, a
world-class school system in the heart of the
plains, is to guarantee that every student
experiences maximum academic and personal
success by capitalizing on the unique
educational, medical, agricultural,
technological, cultural, and human resources
of our community. Slogan: "Where the
Future Takes Flight"
To guarantee students with the academic,
social, ethical, and behavioral skills needed
to be successful at their home campus and in
their personal lives.
Project Intercept was established in 1977.
It was through the efforts of Mr. Lloyd Watts,
who was the Director of the Lubbock County
Youth Center, and with the cooperation of the
Lubbock Independent School District, a program
was designed to provide an alternative
placement to the juvenile justice system. A
grant was secured and Mr. Richard Denham
served as the first program director. The
original mission was to help deter students
from becoming part of the juvenile justice
system.
In 2007, LCJJC and PI were separated as two
programs with two "on-campus" school
administrations. PI will continue as the
District’s Disciplinary Alterative Educational
Program (DAEP) by providing a temporary
placement for students who violate the
District’s Student Code of Conduct. Allyson
Haveman was chosen as the first "on-campus"
educational administrator for LCJJC.
Project Intercept was a name given to two
different and unique alternative education
settings within the Lubbock Independent School
District (LISD). LISD provides educational
services through an alternative educational
program (AEP) when a student is suspended for
10 or more school days from their home campus,
is expelled from a student’s home campus or
when a student is placed in juvenile detention
waiting for adjudication, a student is serving
a juvenile post-adjudication judgment or when
a student is in violation of juvenile
probation. The alternative education programs
are located on two different campuses. In the
summer of 2007, the administrative council
decided to separate Project Intercept the two
campuses with two different on-campus school
administrations.
The Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center
(LCJJC) campus is located at 2025 N. Akron
Ave. in Lubbock, Texas. Students are placed at
LCJJC by the Juvenile Justice Department and
receive educational instruction from the LISD
teaching staff from the Struggs Learning
Center. This is a joint effort between LISD
and the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice
Department to provide an alternative
educational program to students placed at the
county juvenile detention center while waiting
for juvenile adjudication, students serving
juvenile post-adjudication judgments or
students who are in violation of juvenile
probation. These LISD students are housed at
the Lubbock County Juvenile Justice Center and
are under the supervision of the Lubbock
County Juvenile Probation Department.
The Struggs Learning Center campus is
located at 1323 E. 24th St. and is
the Lubbock Independent School District’s
Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP).
Students placed at Project Intercept gain
entry into the program based on the outcome of
a hearing with the District’s Director of
Student Services called the Project Intercept
Conference (PIC). Students are assigned to the
Struggs Learning Center for violating the
District’s Student Code of Conduct on their
home campus.
Through the efforts of the Project
Intercept program an opportunity is provided
for students to continue their education in a
stricter learning environment. This
alternative is used only after other methods
of dealing with student behavior problems have
been exhausted and proven to be unsuccessful
