Community Involvement
EMBARK
The EMBARK program is meant to connect our high school students with professionals in the community so that students can start to consider future careers. Local professionals will work out of LCHS while also meeting with individual students and classes. Students are encouraged to use these resources to learn about potential careers and consider different fields of work before graduating.
LCHS welcomes the following professionals this month:
March 25-28: Amy Punchard
Interested in getting others to sit up and take notice? Amy will be able to work with students on marketing, advertising, and public relations strategies.

Support Your School
Choir + Panda Express = Lunch or Dinner
Enjoy Panda Express on March 30th and support your award-winning Pirate Choir!
In our district, we have a long history of coming together to serve one another in times of need, often going above and beyond to show love to students, staff members, and community members in their darkest hours. One of our own has recently lost a family member in a house fire, and students have helped coordinate a clothing drive with Communities in Schools for the family.
If you would like to participate in the clothing drive, the details are below. Personal care items are also appreciated. Thank you in advance for any items you can provide for these students, and your support and prayers for these students and their family members as they grieve the loss of a loved one and recover from this devastating incident. If there are other ways you'd like to support this family, feel free to email LCHS CIS Coordinator Lisa Ramirez at lmramirez@lcisd.net.
