From Your Administrators:
LHS Families,
We would like to continue to thank our students, faculty, and staff for wearing their masks each day, practicing social distancing, and for keeping areas sanitized. Thank you!
All 12th graders will take the Civic Exam on Friday, the 11th. All students should get a good night's rest and eat a good breakfast.
We hope you enjoy Winter break with your family and friends later this month. There is no school December 21, 2020 - January 5, 2021.

Did you know that you can see Jupiter and Saturn as one from the Earth?

High School
Career Preparedness: Thomas
Mrs. Thomas' class learned about Jhon Holland's Theory of career choice, also known as RIASEC. This theory assumes that the choice of a vocation or a college major is an expression of personality and that most people can be classified as one of the six primary personality types. Students took Holland’s quiz, created a poster, and shared a presentation with the class.
