Education is Lantana’s highest priority. Lantana has joined with the visionary DISD leadership to provide the finest education available for Lantana students. Lantana is home to three highly prestigious schools. E.P. Rayzor Elementary, our first on-site school, opened in August 2002, and Annie Webb Blanton Elementary School and Tom Harpool Middle School opened in 2008. The on-site schools allow for the ideals of riding your bike and walking to school to become your children’s reality. In Lantana, the assurance of education and safety are our primary focus.
Lantana Education Foundation
Our greatest commitment to education is the Lantana Education/Charitable Foundation. This organization was created to fund projects such as advanced educational programs and scholarships for Lantana students, as well as religious, scientific, literary or other charitable endeavors. The Foundation committed $1 million to the Denton Independent School District in 2000, enabling an elementary school to be built for Lantana students. One-half of one percent of the sale of all real estate sold or transferred within Lantana both current and future will go into this permanent foundation. To date almost $6 million has been granted through the Foundation to DISD. This unprecedented commitment is helping to build Lantana's reputation as one of the country's most "education-friendly" communities.
On-Site Daycare
North Star Academy is an on-site Daycare and education center located in the heart of Lantana. North Star provides excellent care and early-childhood education for infants through kindergarteners as well as after-school daycare programs for school-aged children. They offer extended hours to accommodate the busy schedules of Lantana parents as well as Parent’s Night Out twice monthly and summer camps.
Community Events
The Lantana Owners Association offers year round events for residents to enhance the sense of community and bring families together. From Music on the Green concerts in May to the Monster Mile on Halloween, the activities enhance the quality of life for our residents and unite the entire community. Get a taste of the wide array of activities available to our residents.
