Leopard Spotlight!
Cheryl Anderson is our Leopard Spotlight award winner for 5.19.23! Mrs. Anderson does a fabulous job of working with students in 4 different classes. She works very closely with all of her students to ensure that they will be ready for the AP exam or the next level of English. Not only is she a great English teacher, but she is also in charge of our UIL Academic team. She has worked very diligently to put a strong team of teachers together to work with our students that has helped them excel in their categories. LHS is very fortunate to have Mrs. Anderson!

Medication Pick Up
If your child has medicine at school, please make sure your child has exactly enough medicine to finish the school year. Parents/Guardians are responsible for picking up any extra medicine as the school district has a policy against sending medicines home with students. At the end of this school year, any remaining medicines, including inhalers, will be discarded.

LHS Visitors
Just a reminder as the year draws to an end, volunteers who are conducting business inside the building during hours of operation at the High School, must sign in before entry. Safety remains the top priority for your children in our district. An additional reminder, please ensure you are not propping doors for other volunteers or letting them into the building without them signing in first. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students, staff and all visitors safe.
Below are acceptable means of signing into our district's system:
Approved volunteers will present any of the following for scanning purposes: 1) a valid driver’s license from any state, 2) an official state photo identification card from any state and many countries, 3) military identification card for scanning.

Parking Lot
Students, it is very important that we practice safe driving habits at all times on our campus. We kindly ask that you follow the speed limit, traffic rules, and stay off your phone. Please park in the correct parking spot that is assigned to you. Also, make sure to be considerate to other drivers on the road. Keep in mind that there are several people walking across our campus to their vehicles, athletic facilities, and school buildings. Let's all do our part to keep each other safe while behind the wheel.

NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing
Peyton Hays has been selected for a 2023 Achievement Award in Writing, given by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). Her writings earned First Class, the Council's highest designation.
The NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing is a school-based writing program established in 1957 to
encourage high school students to write and to recognize some of the best student writers in the nation. Only students who are juniors may participate. Schools in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, US territories, Canada, and American schools abroad are eligible to nominate students for the writing program.
This year, schools nominated 360 students. Of that number, 114 were selected to receive the First Class designation, 131 received the Superior designation, 71 received the Excellent designation, and 31 received the Merit designation. Each student submitted two pieces of writing. Two to three
independent judges scored each submission on expression of ideas, language use, and unique
perspective and voice.
