~PREPARING FOR THE KEYSTONE EXAMS~
One of the achievement expectations for LHS, as well as a new PDE graduation pathway, is that every student achieves proficiency on all three of the KEYSTONE EXAMS.
- The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to assess proficiency in Algebra I, Literature, and Biology.
- The Keystone exams are one component of Pennsylvania’s newly adopted high school graduation requirements. Keystone exams have been designed to help school districts guide instruction toward meeting state standards.
- Keystone exams for upperclassmen will take place during the Winter testing window of January 3-18, 2023.

We will be collecting these donations in the Atrium on November 11, 2022.
Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week is November 12th – 20th
We ask everyone to wear RED on November 17th to show your support for this cause. Monetary donations will also be accepted on this day to buy clothing and hygiene items for the CEDAR CLOSET which helps our own students in need.
