2021 Best Communities for Music Education Award
The Lockport City School District has been named one of 686 districts across the nation to be a Best Communities for Music Education recipient by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. The Lockport City School District demonstrates an unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive music education for all students and is dedicated to providing learning opportunities as part of a well-rounded education. This is the sixth consecutive year the district has received the award.
STOP School Violence Program
The STOP School Violence Program is committed to creating a culture of care and safety within the Lockport City School District. We realize that community issues often find a way into our schools and create conflict among students, between students’ families, and between student, families, and staff. Our Conflict Resolution Coaches will play a vital role in helping to successfully intervene, de-escalate, and resolve community-based and in-school conflicts before threats or crisis situations occur.
Our school and community conflict resolution coaches, Ronald Cheatham, Miles Patterson, and Joseph Poole, are an essential part of our team, and their work will help bridge the gap that sometimes occurs in communication between school, family and community partners. Their experience working with youth and engaging Lockport families will be a huge asset to the STOP Program and to all of us here at LCSD. We are so grateful that they have joined us!
Earth Day
Earth Day was celebrated on Thursday, April 22. Through art and service projects, students throughout the district learned how they can love their earth by reducing, reusing, and recycling. Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day continues to grow with a focus on promoting clean living and a healthy, sustainable habitat for people and wildlife. Celebrating Earth Day serves as a reminder of how fragile our planet is and how important it is to protect it.

Fall Season II Sports
Fall Season II kicked off on March 22, 2021. This includes Football, Cheerleading, Boys and Girls Volleyball, and Girls Swimming. This is a very different season for all of the athletes and coaches as these sports are normally played in the beginning of the school year, but everyone is adjusting and happy to be out on the field, court and in the pool. We look forward to a successful season for all of our athletes as they push toward sectionals.
Spring sports are scheduled to begin on May 3 with Baseball, Softball, Track and Field, Lacrosse, Wrestling, and Boys Tennis. We anticipate finishing both seasons Lion Strong!
April in our Schools
North Park Junior High School
One focus in health class during the month of April was strengthening relationships. Students researched inspiring quotes about friends and family, and posted these chalk messages to promote and spread our positivity in the fresh air.
