Langston Hughes Family,
Thank you to all of you who came out to support us during the Championship Parade. As a reminder, 1st Semester Report Cards were made visible on Friday, January 13, 2023. If you have not already, please take a moment to review grades. These grades are final and will post to transcripts towards students' high school credit accrual for graduation.
Write Score Administration Update
Due to some technical difficulties we were unable to administer the Write Score Assessment to scholars this week. We will resume Write Score Assessment next week (1/23 - 1/26). We will administer the Write Score Assessment to our 10th grade World Literature and 11th Grade American Literature scholars. Thank you all for your patience and flexibility this week.

High School Summer Internship Program
What is the STEM @ GTRI High School Summer Internship Program?
The STEM @ GTRI High School Summer Internship Program is a paid, five-week internship where Georgia students have the opportunity to work alongside and be mentored by GTRI faculty and staff.
Students (16+ years old) must complete the online pre-application to be included in GTRI’s 2023 applicant pool, which is the first step in the internship application process. The purpose of the pre-application is to match students with a summer internship opportunity. Completion of the pre-application is not a guarantee of being selected for an internship position.
All students must complete the online pre-application in its entirety before Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023 at 11:59 p.m., to be considered.
How do students apply?
Interested students must submit a pre-application prior to the Jan. 22 deadline. Please note that completing the pre-application is a requirement, but not a guarantee of employment. GTRI faculty and staff will review the pool of applications from the pre-application, and will set up interviews with applicants being considered for an internship position.
Important Links
- Students can locate the pre-application at https://gatech.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9naUgVIbGQHGCMu.
- You can find internship eligibility requirements and FAQs on the STEM@GTRI website.

We will honor the District Cell Phone Policy at LHHS. We expect scholars to adhere to this policy. We have designated our Cafeteria as the "Cell Phone Zone." Scholars should not have their cell phones out during class or class transitions.
