Back-to-School Night
Homerooms will be posted throughout the school and you will receive a copy of your child's schedule during "first period." We look forward to seeing you!
Remember, you can access your child's schedule on your smartphone through PowerSchool.
Theater Sports Night
Join us on Thursday, October 6th for Theater Sports Night, our version of the show, "Who's Line is it Anyway?"
It's a night of improvisational comedy skits done by Theater 2 and Theater 4 classes. Judges decide which team is the funniest. The audience sits right up front in the pit for the best seats in town! This event has been a hit for the past 10 years at LHS, and it's guaranteed a good time!
Admission is $5 at the door.
Picture Day is Coming
Underclassmen and staff pictures will be taken on October 7th. The makeup day will be on November 29th.
Homecoming 2016
This year's Homecoming Football Game will be on Saturday, October 8th against Ewing High School. The game will be played at Notre Dame High School (because of the work being completed on the LHS turf field) at 12:00 noon.
The Homecoming Dance will be from 7:00-10:00 p.m. at Cedar Gardens in Hamilton. Tickets are now on sale for $40 each - cash only. No tickets will be sold at the door. To attend, students must have a completed permission form and must not owe any fines or textbooks or be on loss of privilege.
Your king and queen will be announced at halftime of the
Homecoming football game!
