For Those Interested in Architecture Chris Moon,Landscape Architect, will be visiting LHS on Thursday, March 16, during Academic Networking in the Counseling Conference Room to speak to students about the profession and opportunities that await those pursuing an exciting career in landscape architecture. Landscape architecture involves the planning, design, management, and nurturing of the built and natural environments. Students must email Ms. Keegan to sign up.


Students Walking to School If you walk to school and use Maple Lane, please be considerate to the residents that live in the neighborhoods around our school. If you are cutting through someone's property or if you do any kind of damage to someone's property, you will be subject to potential consequences from law enforcement. The same is true if you intentionally walk in a way that impedes traffic along a private road. If you walk from this direction and can avoid this street altogether by going around the fence by Lindbergh Boulevard, that would be even better. It is vital that you respect the privacy and property of our local neighbors. Please always behave in a way that represents the high qualities of responsibility, respect, and caring that I see with such regularity at our school.
