In Full Swing
We are just about halfway through October (already), and we hope you have all gotten into the swing of things. We have a lot of events coming up, and we encourage you to get involved and make the most of your time here with us at LHS. Remember, the more you participate, the more amazing memories you will make. Whether you want to join a club, volunteer for an event, or come out and cheer on your peers at one of our fall sporting events, we love to see you showing your Cardinal pride!

Project Graduation
Project Graduation is a volunteer organization that provides a free, adult-supervised, substance-free graduation party for LHS seniors. We are a non-profit, 501c organization that does not receive financial support from LTPS. For more than 30 years, Project Graduation volunteers have worked diligently throughout the school year to raise money so that every senior has a memorable graduation experience. Project Graduation also promotes the message that celebrating without alcohol, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and drugs is the right choice.
Volunteers are already planning fundraisers, pursuing corporate donors, looking for gift donations and more. In addition to the graduation party, the funds we raise let us celebrate every senior with lawn signs, commemorative gifts, and giveaways. None of this can happen without the support of the Lawrence community.
Check out our flyer to see how easy it is to support Project Graduation and the Class of 2022!
