If you are a creative writer, ballet dancer, actor, filmmaker, musician or visual artist and you are interested in attending the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, we have a representative coming to LHS to provide information to you!

If you are interested in attending the information session (see attached flyer), please sign up in the counseling office with Mrs. Crawford by 9/25.

Anne Of Green Gables will be opening this Friday 9/15 and will run until 9/24.

This comedy provides a unique take on L.M. Montgomery’s enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, who is mistakenly sent to a pair of siblings when they had asked for a boy. The play recreates memorable events from the brilliant novel while adding its own take on the story. Audiences will enjoy watching Anne court youthful disaster as she jumps from one wild mistake to another. Whether the playgoer is an “old friend” of Anne’s or meeting her for the first time, this play will entertain audiences in its interpretation of one of literature's most unforgettable characters.

You won’t want to miss Anne of Green Gables! Tickets are on sale now at www.villagesquaretheatre.com!

Greetings from the District of South Carolina of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated!

We are extending an invitation to have your students participate in the HBCU Impact College Fair. This opportunity is an initiative of the District of South Carolina of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated to build awareness of the educational opportunities provided by our nation’s historically black colleges and universities.

Attached is a flyer we would like for you to share with your educators, parents, and students. The HBCU Impact College Fair will take place as part of the fraternity’s annual district conference. This year, the Brothers of South Carolina will host its college fair at the Lowcountry Conference Center (40 Sigma Drive, Summerville, SC), on Thursday, October 5, 2023, from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Our target audience are high school juniors, seniors, and college students. Our goal is to provide students with access to information that they may not normally receive about the HBCU experience. During the College Fair, students will visit with Admissions Officers from over 20 HBCUs, participate in workshops to learn more about applying for scholarships, and have numerous opportunities to receive scholarships from attending colleges, universities, and education nonprofits from across the south.

Please register for the event using the QR code listed on the event flyer. We recommend students complete their online registration by September 30, 2023, to maximize their college admission and scholarship opportunities. Please have students bring 5 transcripts to the event. For more information, contact Trevin Montgomery via email at trevinm@hotmail.com or call 803-807-0179. Schools may also use the educator registration QR code to register your high school’s plans to bring students. Lunch will be provided for the students.
