The above statement was the FCA lesson...very powerful. Several students have reached out and asked others to pray over them, their situations, friends, and family.
Congrats, Ethan
Ethan is an accomplished mixed martial arts athlete! He has served as a volunteer coach for military veterans, was promoted to green belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and earned his championship belt in submission grappling/wrestling. That's a lot of hard work!

Project Beautify LVHS
Thank you to our donors that have purchased items so far!
LVHS is looking to warm up our hallways, doorways and windows around campus this year! Since parents are often asking how they can help, we wanted to share our amazon wish list of vinyl quotes and a few decorations for around the school. If you are interested, check out our wish list at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/bpXDV3o
Thank you!

Pep Rallies and Spirit Days for the Football Season:
Attendance Matters.
Our schoolwide attendance goal for this year is 97%. Our state funding is based on the percentage of students at school at 10:15 am every day. Higher attendance rate = more money for resources for your student.
For students who exceed our 96% goal, we are planning some more exciting rewards this year, such as a movie in the PAC, Kona Ice, and exam exemptions!
For students who miss school, here is some very important attendance information:
3 or more unexcused absences in a 4 week period - warning letter sent home and phone call from the principal.
10 or more unexcused absences in a 6 month period - truancy charges are filed. Parent, student and school administrator will be summoned to appear in truancy court.
Our campus goal is to reach 97% attendance each day.
Thanks for your support!
